Midwinters Race Day 1

After hanging out a couple days Tuesday was the start of real racing. The weather forecast wasn't bad with the cold temps moderating into the 60's and some breeze. The reality was something like that, we had some sun, it did warm up and there was some patchy breeze.

The sailing was tricky, a lot like lake sailing in fact. The breeze started out generally north to northeast and I might of expected it to be more steady, but no. What seemed to work was to pick a side and work it, the middle just wasn't good. Sailing at Davis Island YC seems to work like that as we'll so we should have done better. There were some bright spots for Florida though, Zeke had a good lead in race one and finished third, Greiner had a nice lead in race two and held it, we had the lead in race three until the wind shut down and they abandoned the race.

Results were posted on FSSA.com and can be found by clicking regatta results tab.

Wednesday looks to be warmer but less wind, stay tuned...
