Making it to the start late
Tonight's race was dedicated to Brian, a friend and Barba Roja crewmate, who passed away yesterday.
Ran Dangerous with a crew of 3 this week, and managed sail area early with a #3 and a reef. Lost track of time and started nearly 5 minutes late. We had a great reaching leg at the start, followed by a long beat to the bridge. We were able to get the boat to point pretty well, but could've definitely used a couple more bodies on the rail. Had some fun and caused a little mayhem at the bridge, followed by a long, slow running leg as the wind fell off. Ended the race on a nice reach, and finished 6th in non-spin despite our late start. I'm having a lot of fun learning this boat and starting to get it to reach its potential.
