Light Winds around 6 knots for two hours allowed us to go from A to N to A and finish at N.  Won the start, remarkably, and had pretty consistent wind most of the way to N.  Took a while to get spin up, since it was located on port and needs to be on starboard for N roundings, but then had a great spin run, heading across Round Bay for a bit but then jibing back to the East side, which had more wind.  Ended up rounding A well ahead of Merlin and Chessie Warrior and a bit ahead of the Johnson 18, which we dueled with all the way back to N.  Only one boat finsihed ahead of us -- Flagfest -- but two others corrected over us (5 cubed and Merlin), so we came in fourth.  If only we'd had a more efficient spin raising at N and we might have mad a podium finish!
