Speed Speed Speed

Harbor Springs and its turning it on. Yesterdays practice was pretty light at around 10 -12 knots, but today.... awesome! Wind built from the get go to around 22 - 25 knots, gusty in the harbor entrance but ripping down range. As you sailed down the waves built and I did well to heed Boras advice, "sail down wind gybing down the shore till you get scared then turn back up wind! Waves built quickly down range but had some awesome runs. All in all a great days sailing. Set my own personal best of 26.8 but Bora won the ride of the day with a smoking 30 knot 5 sec average. Once we see the download tonight will be really curious to see where the spikes are, 31 anyone?
The event site is awesome, gets my vote as best rigging launching area of any Moth event we've done. Grassy area, full use of Irish Daves Boat yard, loads of people interested in the boat.

Racing starts tomorrow,
