Misty, choppy conditions on the course
I headed to Zanheiser's with the intention of helping the Neptune's Wager crew out with race committee, and ran into the Whirlaway crew debating whether they should sail given a very light crew. I hate seeing a boat skip a race, and I had always wondered how the old Frers sails, so I hopped onboard with the. We sailed nonspin with a crew of four, and started in moderately choppy conditions at the top end of the #1's range. We stayed in the breeze and managed to round the top mark first, and set off on a deep reach to the second. Misty rain made it difficult to find the mark, but ultimately we did and stayed in the mix. The breeze lightened as the race went on, and left us with a bit of a slow finish. The race went very well overall, and though our 5th place finish wasn't fantastic I enjoyed my time on the boat.
