UV about to blast by our startboard hip
Tight spinn work - I mean REALLY tight
I think getting by HEYDAY put us in first for a minute or two until UV got us
It was honkin' when we first started getting the boat ready, but by race time it had laid down quite a bit. I think it was 6-10 gusting 16 by the time we started - a pursuit race that got us off the line at 1824.20 hrs. It was fun racing past the slower boats and by the last mark, I think we were in 3rd or 2nd..maybe first, but UV rounded and hooked into some breeze over on the south side and blasted by us to starboard...we hung on to 2nd despite some less-than-perfect transition work...let's just say we had shrimp for dinner.
But these late summer evenings are gorgeous, in spite of the sunset arriving at 7:37 pm last night. Sheesh.
