Racing Day 3 update

Well....this was one of those days. Winds were light. No more than 4-5 knots all day. This makes for the third day of these trying and tricky conditions. The lack of concentration, which is so vital when the wind is light, was clearly evident and plagued the team today. Thankfully they only held two races.

Mikey had a solid first race. Chase made many mistakes in Race 1 and ended up 43rd. Ceci and Rory had decent first races and Benn remained in the 30s. The second race was an unfortunate one for Mikey who was OCS although the score does not reflect this yet. Ceci and Rory had terrible races and Benn who is capable of better again finished in the 30s. Chase seemed to hold it together in race 2 and finished in 7th.

Overall scores now see Mikey in 30 (pre OCS adjustment) Chase 58, Rory 60, Ceci 93 and Benn 117. Light winds forecast again for tomorrow for Team Racing then lay day and HOPEFULLY the last days of the regatta will have more breeze and the team can finish strong.
