Pas de deux

Daniele and I did one of our favorite races, the Pas de deux hosted by PCYC

Therapy and Chaos and Bellum represented the club.

We left the house late.  Highway 20 was closed for construction near the 20.  Had to drive to Cote St. Luc and back down.  Got to the club and raced to the boat and set off to the course.  Saw Therapy just after the GUT with motor problems.  Turned around and offered to tow her.  She declined. She was fine.

We waited about 20 minutes for the wind.

The course was


31(start gate)-33(P)-42(S)-44(S)-32(finish)


We thought we were too early for the start, gybed and we ended up quite late for the start.

Winds were light.  Later the wind was very shift (shitty).  We got to 33 and 42, but everybody had problems finding 44.  And the winds were so shifty, it was hard deciding when to tack. Sometimes the winds would bring you to the mark when you were 90 degrees off the mark.  Interesting.  It lasted 3 1/2 hours.

Got back to the club and Daniele raced to Linda's father's funeral while I changed the engine and transmission oil.  Forgot about the oil filter.
