Wednesday race in light winds

Norm, Jimmy and Daniele came to race this second to last Wednesday race.

Winds were light and went to very light.  Norm took the helm. Steered very well and delicately.Eight eyes on the wind shifts.

Great start, close to the start line with Chaos coming up fast behind us, close to RC.  We tacked shortly after start to avoid the dirty airs.  We made it to the windward buoy on that tack, with very  little pinching.

Winds died on the downwind and race was shortened.

We came in fourth.  Last in our fleet. 

Daniele and Norm stayed for supper.  I just had a beer after a large lunch with Jean B.

Nice sunset, but too intense for pictures.
