2014 Annapolis NOOD Regatta: Saturday

Today started with a dismal forecast for wind.  After being postponed an hour ashore we were sent out where we floated around for another 1 1/2 hours before some wind made an appearance.

The wind eventually filled in with 4-8 out of the south and we went racing.  We had a good start and had good position and lane out front 1/3 up the first beat, but we fouled a boat, did our turns and had to suck air in the back of the pack for the rest of the race.  The current ripping down the bay didn’t make things any easier for us to try and claw our way back into the fleet.

One of the things that has really hit home for me sailing on the J/22 this weekend is how important it is to have clear air and stay away from other boats.
