Weird wind to start the race. We're the third start, and the first start got away cleanly. Wind died shortly after second start went and right as we crossed the line. We wallowed in a wind hole with the other boats in our start, with some eeking their way forward slightly, and others backward. Then the wind filled in from the opposite direction, so on this first upwind leg, about half the boats put up their spinnakers. Then the wind clocked around to where it was supposed to be, so folks doused and tried to catch the wind. We didn't do as well as others, but once the breeze filled in to a stead 6 -8 knots apparent, we caught up to and passed several boats. Didn't pass enough, though, and came in 7th out of 12. 2 hour race in a beautiful evening anyway!
