Race one for today was a splmple windward leeward race and we only hit the Australians once! Since we were used to it, and it was their fault, we just kept on.
We finished poorly due to a variety of factors, chief among them being slowness.
Race two took a long time to start. The light winds gave the race committee pause, but when the wind filled in, they called for a course around a nearby island.
Our fleet is bad. Several times there were so many mis-starts that the race officer got on the radio to scold us. Then he put up the black flag, meaning if you start early you are disqualified.
That did it, and we got a good start. Our performance improved on each leg of the course, and we did not hit anybody, but we still likely finished near the back. But we had fun!
