Our last day of racing went alright. Finally, we started putting together a lot of what we have been learning. We sailed three races in a row without huge major fumbles (although not always the best starts) and picked our lanes, communicated the plan to each other, and even passed some boats. We were in the mix all day and it felt great!
It's very exciting to be on the steep part of the learning curve along with an entire fleet doing the same thing. The sailors who dominated this regatta are a little ahead on this learning curve, but the rest of us will catch up soon, and the competition will get tougher.
Today we are watching some medal races, and packing up the boat. We are on the 11pm ferry to Barcelona. When we arrive in Barcelona in the morning, we drive to Hyeres, France for some training and the next event.
