1 day

Felt weird to start so early, 6 pm instead of 6:15, and still have the sun go down during the race.  Very light winds from the south, and the course was VAVAV, which they shortened to VAV.  Unfortunately, the wind died as we were rounding A and we couldn't make even this shortened course, so for the first time of the year we had to retire from a race.  Bittersweet way to end the racing season, since I'd begun to plan to sell Fiona, my Harbor 20, that I'd raced for the past 6 years.
