Sunday brought slightly cooler breezier weather, a good thing. On Saturday I picked up the boom from inside the boat and soon found myself looking to put it down somewhere fast, before my hand was burned. That’s hot!
More check-ins today which seemed to go smoothly, as far as we could tell. Then at 1 pm the Junior and Womens championship got underway. There was a nice turnout for both fleets, I didn’t get the exact figures but 15 Juniors and around 10 Womens seems about right. The talk was that the heavier crews were favored since the breeze was pretty solid.
We went out for a sail in the afternoon to see how the new boat felt. Overall, not bad but I am feeling a little rusty and the boat has a different feel than Pig Pen. We have switched to the snug rig so it might take some time to get up to speed. Hopefully not too much time!
The forecast is hot with fairly typical sea breeze and not too much chance of thunderstorms for Monday. As the week goes on the breeze is expected to build; Wednesday may be 15 to 25. Guessing this is the result of tropical storm Alax which seems headed for Mexico or maybe Texas.
The rental house is mostly cool, a little rustic but pretty good for a regatta base. Our two dogs are getting along good with Alfe; a 2 year old Yorkshire terrier. The game is on!
More tomorrow.
