3rd in race 5, Sixth Overall into final race tomorrow

June 11th, 2010 in Regattas.

Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet. The regatta website http://www.stareuropean2010.it/eng/ unfortunately lists bow 111 instead of us (bow 11) as finishing third in today’s race. We had a three hour wait, but finally started race 5 at 4:15pm. A full two hours went by for the leaders to finish, but the fleet took easily an hour beyond that to finish. The breeze all but quit after we got through the line. There is one more light air day in the forecast for tomorrow, so we’ll see what we get. Currently we’re sitting 6th overall have good opportunity to move up the board tomorrow if we can mix the fleet up like happened today. More to come…
