The morning was spent getting Charlotte ship shape and getting all those sails ready to go.
Then out for a small play before the start of the FSC Round the Bouys Race 8. A cautious start (another name for late) but not to worry with the waterlength now to power ahead in small chop. One reef and no3 in 18-26 knots of breeze and naviguessor spitting out numbers to find those little sticks the big ocean. (not as much time to sort things out now).
Popped the masthead kite on the last run and hang on.....as we reached warp speed with acceleration.
Finished two legs in front of the next boat. Great fun. First and fatest just to top it off. The learning curve has just begun.
