Annual night race. Started in twilight, sandwiched between pin and Himmel at A on beam reach. Wind quickly moved astern, so put up spin. Apollo, Hillel and Lark went spin run to D, wind picking up to 15 knots as approaching D, I'm pelting racing. Rounded mark and sped for home. Couldn't stay high enough, and had to tack at the end, allowing Swift and Jambo to catch up. Ended up fourth, after swift, Jambo, and Apollo. Exhilarating race, the whole way back in rain.
