Hmm.. now I'm really lost!
I carried starboard a long way and thought I carried it too far but apparently not because I never got the lift.
In any case, most of the F16s seemed to be tacking to port fairly early and working that side of the course. It worked for the leaders, I just never picked up any clear signal that it was time to tack.
When all the leaders take off the other way - How much clearer of a signal do you need?
I know. But without picking up on the physical signs i.e. a shift or change in pressure I'd just be following. I'm still trying to figure out what they saw and felt that I missed.
Jack- reading and understanding are not the same. If anything I've read too much. I think I'm fixated on some old habit that I still haven't identified.
In any case we had the best weather we've had in at least three years and I'd rather sail in the Keys than any place I know.
I'm about thirty miles south of Charlotte Harbor and the weather today is absolutely gorgeous. Just in case any of you are thinking about coming down.
