Since then we had 2 more races.
First a really light air race w/ left over lump in Lake Superior. This race was humbling....9th out of 10. We started well, but on 3 occasions we went to zeros on the knot meter and watched the light little boats like the Olson 30's and B25 just slink away from us. I would stop, the lump would push the bow down and I would be on basically a beam reach trying to get the boat to move again.
But on Sunday, we a had a Bermuda start race of 10 miles. All the handicap is built into your start time. We were third slowest in the race - so third to start. It was officially our first bullet w/ the boat. We just slipped across the line before a Mumm 30 and an Olson 40. That was fun!
