And this time we had enough wind to finish the course, but not too much, as has happened twice before this season.  Finished mid-fleet among about 15 boats, and still waiting for the results of the handicapping math, which I'm hopeful puts us in the top 40% of boats.  We'll see.  Light winds from the South, but steady enough to keep us moving well except for the last 150 yards, which were excrutiating.  We had four on our boat instead of our usual three, but with additional hands were even better able to stay in trim going upwind, which helped on our performance.  Wind picked up after the race was over, so held spin practice for another half an hour, which was glorious.  Most boats stayed out to sail afterwards, too, since it was such a pretty evening.  Wonderful all-around!
