Burn the winches! One of my main winches popped open after rounding Red Rock. I sailed with one winch for a while, but it was killing me and my sail. That and an earlier spinnaker twist at Angel Island doomed me for this race. I headed in early. Great conditions though, a little bit of everything.
I put my track onto RaceQs... and look at that, I'm racing to HMB now! That's weird.

I tried to create a silver eagle race on raceqs... not sure it's working for everyone, I see Kyntana, but not nightmare... also, doesn't show two of my jibes on the way to RR and the wind looks flat out wrong after RR (it shows us on run when we were on a beat.) Hmmm... maybe this is because I didn't finish the race and so it thinks i"m doing something else... not sure.

No wonder you blew up a winch - you only THOUGHT you were going upwind!

That's because I was on my way to Half Moon Bay!

Way to represent - thanks! Looks like everyone finished by 1600. How was it?

What Greg posted in the other thread. Fun day, we saw several whales (well, my crew did; I missed them all except for one humpback), several sunfish and a couple of harbor porpoises. We were able to carry the spinnaker right after rounding R2 for a change.

Kynntana (Freedom 38)
Beccie and I are talking about doing it, so that means K is out of the running for the SH division. I just hope the wind stays up like it has been lately! K don't drift.

I'm signed up. There are a whole 5 boats signed up right now and the Wildcat is the only monohull. I need company.
