That's our prayer and we are sticking to it.
It seemed like a carbon copy of yesterday, woke up in the night and heard the crashing waves out side Ryan's cabin, Crap! Too dark to get a visual but it sounded bad.
Got to the Club and it wasn't bad at all so we had hope. Left the dock in about 10 from the NW and it faded a little from there but the chop held on.
The first race started on time in 5 to 8 knots so we were psyched. A good pin end start had us in the top ten up the first beat. We rounded in good shape but had a poor run to lose some ground but in the end we got some back for a fifth place finish. We were obviously thrilled to good off to a good start and we love 4 leg races rather than 5.
Our happiness was quickly replaced with dread since we started next to Al and Katie Terhune who won the race but got no horn, OCS. Crap!
Second race was testy due to a crap start which is well documented by a bunch of photos. Look for Bow 62 in the 200 th row! Found a decent port tack lane and made up some ground to get to the top mark around tenth (I think) and improve a little from there to get a sixth. Too cool! Nothing like a nice dig-out to lift your spirits.
There are some pending protest and redress for OCS scores so we will see what happens but as it is noe we are third and hoping for more 5 gusting to 6. See ya!

who redresses ocs's?!??? ...keep rocking that light air. y'all can scoot in the breeze too, so get what you get and kick some butt!!!!!
The first time I ever saw a redress for OCS was the 2007 NAC at Fishing Bay YC. The second time was this NAC. Both times we were dropped down a position or two and finished 11th both times. A little cosmic?
