The crew hard at work
Pre-start, a nice evening on the water
Today's race was a mix of highs and lows. Much more breeze than was forecasted made for ideal conditions. We worked together well as a crew today and pulled off some clean tacks and mark roundings. We carried a kite on two reaching-ish legs & I got rounded up on one of them due to a lack of communication between myself and one of our trimmers. Still need to work on my driving under spinnaker. Our kite got a small hole at some point, and blew out spectacularly on the hoist for the last leg. A costly race for our skipper...
