Daniele and I went to pick up the Ebay and Defender stuff from Mike and then headed to the club.
We bought pork fillets to eat at anchor after the race. Jimmy did not come because of the thunderstorm warnings.
There was no wind in the harbour. We filled the water tanks. We went out early and there were 4 to 2 knots. I could taste the pork on the BBQ. There was a storm cell east of us.
Then the winds picked up to 15 knots.
We raced white sail with Tara II, Talisman IV, Borlean. Daniele helmed. We ran abeam along the start line and when the horn sounded, we tucked across near the pin side.
We sailed well, tacked well. Tara II cut in front of us at the windward mark. We had to tuck behind Borlean because she was starboard. We were now last. In the run, the winds died and we slowly crept pass Borlean and caught up to Tara II. Then the course was shortened. Think moved very slowly. Borlean was too low down the current and abandoned. Tara finished and so did we.
There were a little thunder and lightning in that cell that was still east of us.
There was a storm watch. I decided to return to the dock.
We had a drink aboard and then decided to join Patrick at the BBQ and then slept aboard.
Awaiting racing results.
