Four Horsemen

With the breeze coming off the land, there were times today when it looked like the four horsemen of the apocalypse were smoking down wind and coming to get us. Adam lost his rig on the way out, and spent 90 mins in the water fixing the broken pin and re rigging whilst capsized, all with the help of Bora's mate who jumped in, no wetsuit, to help out. Kudos to all involved. Gusts from 5 to 25 knots and back as well as 20 deg shifts were the name of the game and Bora excelled, until Adam beat him in the last race. Bear sailed really consistently and we had plenty of place changes in each race, with tight racing through each race. We got 4 races in, I got a 5, 3, 4,5 I think, it was all getting pretty confusing at one point, who'd finished and who'd pulled out but just an awesome day.

10 - 20 forecast again today, with a sightly easier direction, so more hot racing on the menu

You know when a town (Harbor Springs) and yacht club (Litter Travis Bay Yacht Club) welcome you when:

Our launch ramp had 2 steel posts sticking up at the end and we were worried about lifting the boats up and over. No problem, talk to the council and 30 mins later 2 work men turn up and chop the posts off. Add to that Dave Irish allowing us to keep our boats in his boat yard hanger fully rigged and you have the makings of an awesome venue.

Worlds in 2013 anyone......
