Midwinters Race Day 3

Thursday, New Orleans

Beautiful weather today, nice and breezy this am, calming, but that left us with lumps. Lots of lumps...did we say lots? probably, we need a lumpectomy....
Anyway, started a race, a long one, 5 legs, .9 mi.
As we were approaching the end of leg 4, sitting in about 6th place, the committee boat was mysteriously driving away... not a good sign.
The abandonment flag was flying, so, you guessed it, we try again.
For us, it does not matter, since our score is a non-issue, having missed 3 races yesterday, but we still strive to to well and go for the small victories. Aggravating for those winning the race, then .. POOF!! (ugh, Ryan!)
Joe is feeling better today, and able to crew, and Serge is back on the racecourse.
RC re-sets after a while and we start another, the boat felt terrible for some reason. unknown to us. As good as we felt in the first race (that didn't count) we felt worse. It, surprisingly is another 5 leg, .9 mi leg course, so, lots of time to either make up, or yuck up. We were pretty deep during the first leg, the left ended up looking better, and Team Wake noted such, and vaulted into the lead position during the last upwind, and won the day!!
We managed to salvage a 10, and enjoyed margaritas near the Harry-mobile after racing, thanks to John D.
Drinks, dinner, and music ahead!! Headed to Bourbon St. since someone won some gift certificates to Margaritaville, see you there, Harry!
oh, in other news... Zeke and Abdullah are tied for 1st....game on!! Tune in tomorrow to see if we get 2 races!
