Racing was eventually cancelled for us today. We waited for the boys yellow fleet to finish two races, although only a few boats made it through the second race. Winds in the twenties with some major gusts and massive waves meant that many of the 49ers had a hard time going downwind without the kite up, and the ones that made it came in with some injuries. The blue fleet didn't sail, and us FXers didn't either. We are the first fleet tomorrow - starting at 11:00. Forecast is for 15 kts.
We are in this promo video from the practice race - just a couple short clips of us sailing upwind. (we are wearing black wetsuits with white rash guards.
These pics are from the early part of the day when the boys yellow fleet was racing, later the wind picked up and the waves got huge.
