Jody-Thanks for the compliment. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This weekend was the best sailing all season. Saturday we had wind just under 10knots with a few higher gusts all day and were able to get in 6 races. Each btw 30-50 mins each. We corrected into first for 5 races--real time being VERY close. I remember that in one race we were exactly one min behind Wick on the I20 and in front of the F18's. The third race of the day we came across the line first but then snagged the anchor line of the committee boat. Unfortunately we couldn't get the dagger board up and got pulled into the committee boat. Finally we got free and had to refinish. So we took a third in that race. (Next time we will know to go back around faster) The dagger board has some "bite" marks from the line but we saved the hulls from going under the bow of the house boat. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> By the end of the day we had 5 points (the RC thew out the lowest score on everyone) and second place had 14 points.

Sunday Nigel asked if we would like to trade the Infusion for the Blade the last race and just use it as a through out. The wind was lighter and we took a third (I think-but no lower for sure) then traded boats. The RC took times on the boats but DSQ'd us for the race. We corrected to 5th and Nigel corrected to first. Jake has been collecting all the real times to submit-so let all work through the system.

It was a great time by all and thank you Nigel and Tammy for opening your home for us to use. Also a huge thanks to the RC and Mr Ernie for his work in getting things together.
