Winds were very light, sky was dark. Skipper Meeting was at 9:30. I got out of bed at 9:45. I did not want to race, but I bugged Luc for a chart and time as he was heading to his shark.
I tried to get the 150 but was too lazy to install it, especially since Daniele and I were going to go sailing afterwards.
The course was 10.07 knots. Start time was 13:35. I had a pretty good start and winds were in my favour at the start. I caught up to a few boats.
JP had the 150. I was jealous. Jason had a horrible start, behind the fleet.
I make some mistakes in navigation that let Sylvie and JP pass me.
At AD28, the winds were very quarky and I had to avoid Sylvie because she we in trouble. I did not protest. Then I almost had to start my engine to avoid nosing the bouy. In the meantime, Jason caught up.
Then a small squall came up. Jason furled, Sylvie partially dropped her main. I furled my jib and kept an eye on Sylvie. Jason unfurled, so I unfurled. It was a two man race. Patrick finished and came back out to watch over Sylvie.
It was a race between Fugu and Bellum. Fugu tried to push me on the other side of RC,but I refused and passed 3 seconds ahead of Fugu.
The teams all had some Samual Adams at the clubhouse.
