SMSA Fleet Building Wednesday Night. Ironically a pretty small fleet this evening due to the high temps and light wind. Steve drove for this race and I trimmed headsails. A rights dispute at the line resulted in an imperfect start, but we managed a tidy spinnaker set and a nice, if slow, run to the first mark. A hectic rounding followed, but afterwards the wind filled in and we got a nice beat to a shortened finish.
