Another Tricky Day at the Office


Today was the second day of the Miami OCR regatta, and the Race Committee ran three races to make up for a short day yesterday.  The breeze was 5-12 knots out of the North-Northeast and was very shifty and very puffy.  The racing was difficult.

All three races I had good starts, but couldn't seem to piece together windward legs.  Sometimes getting leverage on the fleet was important, other times crossing boats when you could was the play, and at time leading the pack to the side worked.  There was no "rule of thumb" for today's racing.  With the exception of a few boats, everyone was pretty inconsistent today.  I tallied a frustrating 13-20-16 and am now in about 30th place.  As of this writing there are definitely some errors in the scores.

Two races are scheduled for tomorrow with similar conditions forecasted.  Hopefully I can turn it around a little.
