Not as much wind today (8-12Kts from the Sth, warm :) ) but a long day. We felt rushed this morning, should have left more time for boat fiddling. We were also on the rusty side today, there were three races - got some really crappy starts on the first two races, felt like we were playing catch up the whole race, my 'forward' tacks left plenty to be desired and did pretty averagely (we are bound to have some shockers... sigh). On a positive note, the fleet was pretty tight and even though we were at the back end of the fleet, we held our own and everyone was close together (leaders and trailers).
Got our act together in the 3rd race, good start, good acceleration and we were about 7th to round the top mark. Nice to finish on a high note, here's hoping we don't take so long to get into the groove next time.
Got our sails measured (you could fund your campaign on what they're charging! 60DKK per sail), getting the boat measured tomorrow morning also then we'll go for a sail (no official training tomorrow)... assuming they're on time with their measuring schedule etc.
Good to be home, but we still need to put sponsor sickers on our main... such a pain, we should have done this earlier. Oh well :) Got our SLAM gear from Y.A too, YAY, better late than never.
