Race 1- October 6th

Race number one was held today in a SW wind of 10-15 knots and a large swell. The breeze was steady and so boatspeed was the most important factor. I finished a solid seventh after passing a few boats on the first reach leg and on both downwind legs. Several competitors were over- early during the start, resulting in disqualification from the race, but I was lucky not be one of them, although unfortunately my training partner Emery Wager was. Bummer. Race 2 was canceled due to very thick fog enveloping the course. The forecast for tomorrow is for a breezy northerly and it should be an exciting day.
