Wind 16-21 apparent from the S. Reefed main and rolled some of the Genoa in, which kept us on our feet a tad more. Had four big guys but we were still knocked a lot. Course A to N to A to C and finishing at A. Decent upwind, better port tacks than starboard for some reason. Wind stronger at bottom of Round Bay. Downwind had reefed main out and going 5.3 knots. Unfurled Genoa and took reef out for second downwind and went wing and wing. Wish had not declared non-spin. Disappointing result. 7 th out of 11. Adventurous night!

Headed out around 7:45 pm for a spin around Valentine Creek and Round Bay. Had cooled down to about 82 and wind was down to about 4 knots. Lovely!

Nice to get up and about after several days with a cold. Went out single-handed in 8?knots with gusts to 12 which two hours later had grown to 14 knots with gusts to 19. Ended up being more strenuous than I'd planned, but had a great time. Saw another RBSA boat out enjoying the day, as well as a buddy on a duck in Round Bay, who took video.

Very light winds at the start died shortly afterwards, leaving the fleets immobile for a few minutes. Wind slowly filled in on the left, which we were able to catch earlier than some boats, which went more down the middle of the course. Came in 3rd out of 10 on corrected time; fifth over the line. Pizza night afterwards was a good showing, and it was fun to announce the winners of the first six-week series.
