mind you, we were kinda in a hurry to get back out on the course again after having sailed back to the beach for some repairs. We did that 3 times that day during the distance race as we were foolish enough to run some lines the wrong way and we couldn't correct that on the water.

Here is a picture of me running to the boat shed to find some replacement gear. I can't even remember what it was. Some shackle or something.

It was a fun race weekend but we definately had our share of bad luck. When we left the beach the whole fleet was over the horizon and in the far distance we could only see a single hobie dragoon (=SLOW !!!). Caught up with about 1/3 of the fleet after that though and took some 2hour 30 minutes to complete the course with first finisher needing about 2 hours and 10 minutes, I believe.
