Sunday dawned with the promise of wind, but alas the sea breeze fought the Santa Ana all day, resulting a puffy 5 -8 knots and temps that were hot hot hot. We got a few scant moments of foiling in the gusts, but despite trying twice the PRO was unable to lay a course that didn't involve long sessions of low riding. Long slow sail back and a fight up the channel ( I cheated and caught a tow line from passing fishing boat!) made for a bit of a frustrating day.
All frustrations we gone once we were back and we still had the keg to finish so after a couple of cold ones we had the prize giving. It was really innovative as there were no prizes except the kudos of winning, but what do you expect from a low key fun regatta that cost $40 and included a keg of beer! Thanks to Martin PRO and to ABYC for a warm welcome and great support with this.
The circus rolls on to Turkey Day at ABYC where we already have 5 entered and our own start!
