Pouring rain and gusty to start. Pushed back starting call half an hour. Rain cleared up but decently high wind still for first race. We didn't do too badly. I struggled to release the lazy side wraps with so many on and wet heavy lines though. Also I screwed up in race 2 by not understanding that getting the Spinsheet up to Chris was my job and a couple boats got past us. :-/ I did feel good about my role in getting the spin clew over when jibing though.
Am extremely bruised on knees and shins and some inside arms (how?) and hip. Ordered kneepads and arnica gel, lol. Also pretty bummed there wasn't more footage of the J105 class races in the video and photos after the event.
