Nationals - Day 3

Unfortunately it does not appear that results are online quite yet. Quick report is that Steve Clancy and John Murphy are fast. Very, very fast. After an average tune-up race they have collected three bullets in some good, hard sailing conditions. Josh and I are in second with a 2,4,2. John Huff and Mark Vanderberg is two points behind us, Ross and Eli are in fourth and I cannot remember what happens from there as I do not have the results in front of me right now.

So far it has been a good event. We got the tune-up race out of the way with a shortened course and some confusion which led to many boats not finishing the race. Most of the confusion coming from the line of thunder storms running down the lake and the committee telling people to head back to the barn. After that passed with some rain they sent us out for a nice first race of the series in some fifteen knots of wind.

Yesterday was a bit windier, or so it seemed. With the wind a little left of the wave set everyone was talking about port tack after racing as most people found it hard to navigate through the short chop.

Not sure what today holds. Definitely some kind of weather as rain is imminent and wind predictions from a drifter to 25+, depending on who you listen to. In the end, we'll find out soon enough.

Time to get to the boat park and get ready. I will try to get some results up later on.
