It was a nice evening of racing. Strong winds.

| Happy skipper |
There were showers as we left and showered again as we were finishing. The forecast was 30 percent rain.
We were there early and we delayed the jackrabbit start by 30 minutes because Slow Dancer left the harbour late. Gaucho abandons shortly after the start.
Alison's pinky got rope burn near the start.
We were doing very well until we missed timed our approach to SL 33. Then we got a series of big lucky lifts and I tried to use "momentum" to get to the mark. But it failed miserably. Maud reminds me I failed another time with this maneuver.
We messed up the tack and stalled. We had to backwind a jibe to get around the mark. It was messy. Very messy. And the fleet moved ahead of us. And we never caught up.
Would have been with the fleet and would have been ahead with the time owed. We had the lowest handicap.
An awesome sunset, one of the best I have ever seen.
Supper afterwards.
