No racing on Sunday

They held us on land all day, and then finally sent us out to sail on the RSX course at about 5:30pm. By the time we started our first race thunderclouds were looming and the lightning was striking before we reached the first windward mark. They abandoned the race and sent us in.

It is hard to keep your head on straight when you spend the whole day ready to race any minute. I made sure to stay hydrated and fed and stay in the shade a lot. I think I changed between sailing clothes and shorts and a t-shirt 3 times trying to guess if they were going to send us out soon or not.

Forecast for today is similar - we are scheduled to race after the 470's on the Murimar course. It is the farthest course out. I'm hoping the 470's get there races off on time so that we can actually race today!
