The day started with the lowest tide I've ever seen. Good thing the dock was still floating ;)
Anyway, today's race was an interesting one. Once again the wind shifted after I had set up the course, but today we agreed to just leave it and sail the course backwards. Of course this led to all kinds of confusion during the first race as to what side we should be rounding marks on, but once we had it all figured out, it was a fun time.
Troy and Sandy arrived and we decided to go ahead and rig 3 boats, we would each single hand the C-Larks and be our own race committee. The first two races was some good solid racing with Troy leading the pack. Just before the 3rd race, the wind picked up significantly (right up to the edge of my single-hand comfort level) and we agreed that we should definitely race again! After some flailing around the start line a bit, Troy counted us down to the start. His nerves of steel and body chiseled from granite took Sandy and I to school! Not to take away from his wins, but just remember he was sailing against an old lady and a newbie!! (sorry Sandy)
Okay, enough of the funny stuff, here's the results for the day.
TROY: 1,1,1
JAKE: 2,2,2
SANDY: 3,3,3
