Once again I joined the Starbird crew for a pair of laps on the merry-go-round that is short-course winter racing. Despite being chilly, it was a beautiful day to be out on the water with solid race worthy breezes. Early in the day it was pretty strange with perhaps the base breezes in the 7-8 knot range with short lived gusts to maybe 18 knots, It made for a hard day's work for the mainsail trimmer. (Did I mention that I was trimming the mainsail.)
We had a good day out there, with a pair of fouth place finishes placing us in fourth place in the series. Not the best of times, not the worst of times, falling somewhere in the fair-to-midling range, which still beats the cheap seats range.
