A good day on the water although start was delayed 90 minutes due No Wind, then wrong direction then came in from east. It was the persistent rain that caused this chaos. During this time we practiced with the black spinnaker that is in a snuffer and also did some gybes ready for the windier days later in the week.

Again courses were windward leeward but with a spreader mark at the windward end.

1st race was lots of manoeuvres for the star and we may have infringed another boat on a luff. Instead of going for a protest did a 360 just after the start. The race was good no other mishaps and got a 4th. The 2nd and 3rd boats on corrected time were just 30 seconds ahead, the 360 cost us 2 places.

2nd race again a busy start and we got luffed wrong side of ctte boat so had to follow others off the line. The rest of the race no problems and another 4th.

We re now 4th overall on same points as boat in 5th.

Tomorrow will try harder on the starts.
