Sailed on Dangerous for the SMSA Frost-Goode Race. Light conditions at the start, but we caught a good breeze and had a very nice upwind sail for the first hour. Nearly missed a mark and had to make a big move, costing us a bit of time. The wind slowly ground to a halt near the top mark and we drifted up to it over the course of an hour or more. As we rounded the mark at St. Leonard Creek the owner was concerned about running aground, so we briefly fired the motor (unknowingly forcing our retirement). Eventually the wind filled back in and we sailed another nice upwind leg back down to the finish. Overall a nice day on the water, but frustrating that our effort couldn't be counted as we would've been first in nonspin class.
