Email from Mike Easton about yesteray's racing and today's predicted conditions...
First day of racing went ok here. The wind was probably the best of the whole event (10-15 kts). Definitely a huge learning curve when we're starting with 80 other boats. You have to line up at least 2min before the start and then hold your position there if you want any chance of being first row. Competition is really tight with everyone going about the same speed, especially the top guys. It's all about the start and first beat because after that there's not many passing lanes and you can't just boat speed ahead of everyone else. We finally got our ****/nerves sorted out by the 3rd race. Hoping for more results like that.
Today the wind is looking really light. Looking like a max of 5kts today. Ugh!
