well today was interesting.....

nice 30 degrees, 20 knots of wind.
running a bit late for strat after some repairs from the previous day, 200 meters off shore i put us in the drink in the middle of all the mored boats, so the rule was if the mast hits the water you have to provide a case of beer to the fleet. BUGGER!
got out to the start and we raced, I'm a bit rusty on the helm and throwing the crew off the boat from harsh tacking. (sorry dave)
We were coming 4th at the time till dave's harness fell apart on him, so quick thinking of cutting the main halyard and tie his harness to him. mean while kryptnite came thru, and being us. Unko 5th, krypnite 4th

2nd race was shortly after, same wind same coarse but as per daily the race committee changes the top mark, meant to be 20 degrees to port but to find it in the same spot but 300 meters out to sea further,
Kryptnite was first to the top mark with Unko 3rd, on the first lap, as wind changes direction so id the order, undo was in 3rd spot and kryptnite in 5th.
to make their day better, kryptonite was OCS and blew their kite open and 1 bleeding man, so they finished and went in.

3rd race was shortly after the 2nd, wind had died down to 10 knots, 5 boats started out of 12, due to breakages in the first 2 races.
Kryptonite had enough for the day, but undo still powered on.
we started good till the first tack i did contender style, where i was tacking and my body got hit by a wave and flew around the back of the boat on the other side and manage to take the thing smooth, i don't know how but i did.
we got around the top mark 5th, but good thinking got us in 3rd spot in one gybe, and we finished in 3rd spot.

so all in all Unko = 3 kryptonite 2

round 3 tomorrow

elvis has left the building
