Great Race

Jimmy and I went out racing. Daniele was working.

I biked to the club to enjoy the exercise.

Winds were a little strong for just the two of us.

I took the start and gave the helm to Jimmy.

We had a good start but were not near RC.  But we had clear air.  That seemed to have given us the clear advantage.  We went farther up the lake before tacking.  The rest of the fleet tacked earlier, giving us clear air and some lifts.

When we tacked and approached the windward mark, we were in second place, behind Chaos.

After the downwind mark, Jimmy asked where was RC.  I peeked behind the sail and yelled TACK NOW.  We tacked to find ourselves in the sights of Talisman who veered out of our way.

We did very well.  Third.  8 seconds behind Talisman.
