... and when overtaking a wave at speed under spi ! ...

Fail on either account and you'll risk a capsize.

I was screwin up on my starts and upwind legs, I must admit to that. I started about 20 to 30 seconds late on both starts; I wasn't paying enough attention to the flag signals. Upwind, I'm still trying to find this years groove. Afterall it was the first sail on my own boat this season after have it put away last september. I'm still allowed the "rusty" excuss !

But on the downwind parts, man, I was doing alright ! I made up significant amounts there. So now to get that start/upwind work going right and I'm in !

Sailing weather over here was good, but the skies was fully clouded over with drizzle rain and a generally somber mood. It was also fresh in the way of temperature. But the sailing was great !

I'm having fun alright.
