Day Two Racing







All four sailors are on the water. Mom and Dad actually got a ride out in the afternoon to witness the 3rd and 4th races of the day. Nice ride too, a Tiara 36 with a professional captain unafraid to put our big boat within very close proximity of the sailors. The photos are not downloaded, but should be pretty. More challenges for everyone starting, some great lessons for those that did get out in front, and encouraging for all four sailors as they showed great efforts, and are sailing well... just from tough spots at the outset of each race. Getting a chance to see the conditions first hand was excellent. The chop and swells were significant making for some very excellent sailing: Breeze is shifty, can range from 10-15 in the same race and the race courses are a good size so very tough to stay ahead when you are ahead and challenging to find lanes for big comebacks. Also, lots of talent on the water. All in all a great place to be.
