First off, we had some great starts today. We really put to the test our ability to hold a spot close to the line without sliding sideways, and it turns out we are pretty good at it!
Tactics were really hard today, race 1 went okay. Race two we made a lot of bad decisions and some of those bad decisions led to more bad decision. Race 3 was our best race, we finished 11th after a good start and simple tactics both upwind and down. We went to the edges, kept clear lanes, and didn't tack or gybe too much.
Hoping to put together more races like that tomorrow, with more solid finishes we can move up a lot in the scores.
The forecast is calling for 13 kts tomorrow from the SSE. That seems more similar to a windy practice day we had here, so looking forward to more wind where we have better boat speed.
