Whidbey Island Race Week-Day 3

This morning started out completly socked in with fog. But by the time we left the dock, the fog was lifting. We motored to the start and by the time of the first start at noon, the wind was blowing 10-12 knots. We had a great start and a good beat. We opted for a jibe set and had a closer line to the next mark that was waaayyy to leeward and around the bluff. Alas the wind died and the race was called.

We did three more races and bu thye third race, the wind was puffing 15 knots. Mikle performed great aggresive starts. In the second race, we rounded well up in our class and lead "What? A Tripp!"(Captain Morgan) during the run. We rounded the leeward mark inside a couple of other boats that swung wide.

The third race was four legs of of about a 3/4 miles each with two spinaker sets and a downwind finish.

Great winds today and lots of sunshine! Supossed to be more of the same tommorow.

This is one of the great things about being retired.

Captain Morgan on our tail.
