2013 Annapolis NOOD Regatta: Saturday

With winds up and down it was a tough day on the water today.  We’re still 3rd on points, but ceded a few points and are tied with several boats very close behind us.  We’ll need a few good results tomorrow to stay on the podium.  All in all our maneuvers went much better than yesterday, but we did find ourselves on the wrong side of some shifts making it hard to  stay in the top spots.

Racing today was in anywhere from 5 knots all the way up into the mid-teens in the last race of the day with mostly sunny skies and temperatures comfortable in the 60-70’s.  I’d have more pictures today, but the camera with all of the shots on it was left in the boat for the night.

This seemed to be the story of my day… more overrides on the winch in a day of racing than I think I’ve had in years of racing.
