Today was the start of the 55th Antigua Sailing Week. We had 2 races completed and were nowhere as good as yesterday, a 4th and 7th. The 2 races were windward leeward courses, 2 laps. The 1st race no dramas and stayed close to the pack.

2nd race in 15-18 knots on a tight reach had a problem getting the symmetric spinnaker down. The guy was not fully released so spinnaker filled behind the main. It took all 4 of us to get it onboard, good thing was it was still dry so no trawling done. The second downwind leg put the asymmetric up and the wind moved aft so no chance of catching up.

Tomorrow we try again hopefully without any mishaps.
