Wind was supposed to be light and from the North, but instead was medium turning to light, and from the South.  Round Bay Sailing Association RC made a course from B to C to B to A to finish at B, and luckily shortened the course to finish at A.  Wind declined during the race, as it does.  2nd boat to the upwind mark, just behind Himmel, and then had a nice spin run all the way back up Round Bay, past B, to finish at A, amidst the fast boats, which is not the usual finishing location for our Harbor 20.  Beautiful spinnakers out, and we were able to keep ours full on both legs, though the pressure declined the further we got from the lower mouth of Round Bay.  Fabulous night in that there were no thunderstorms to worry about, nor winds in the 20's, so afterwards everyone just floated around and drank their beers, not wanting the lovely evening to be over.  We'll have to see how the math works out, but i'm hoping we ended up with at least a mid-fleet finish.
