Windmill Point

After Fred's wedding on Saturday, Daniele and I got to the club at 8:30 to get the boat ready for the Windmill Point race.

Norm and Peter arrived, got a little familiarization and left the harbour at 9:45.

Peter was very knowledgeable with winds on the lake and the marks.  Daniele helmed expertly.  Peter determined the oscillation of the winds and we learnt not to chase the lulls but take advantage of puffs.

Decompression had problems finding SL33 but RC saved the day by finding it and escorting Decompression to the next mark SL44.  Both marks were where they were supposed to be.

We came in fourth out of 7 behind Decompression, Gaucho and Ghost Owl.








UPDATE:  Our adjusted position is 3rd.  Podium?
