Sail West 2006 Tied for First!

After the first day of the regatta, I'm tied for first place! Very exciting! With 25 Radials, this is the largest fleet I've ever raced in. The wind was exceedingly light and shifty today, resulting in several postponements. Several times, we began the start sequence only to have the AP flag go up with one minute to go. Collective groans.

Chestermere was a great place to be in May (although very cold) but now it is proving to be less than ideal for sailing. The big challenge for this regatta will be keeping the daggerboard and rudder free of weeds.
