Today we got our throwout race out of our system in the first one.... We rolled the dice and picked a side to come up short... there was allot going on today, winds were not really steady, but we had much more than yesterday... trapezing all day pretty much. We had another couple of average results in the second and third races after digging back to top tens after being further down after banging the wrong corner... it was a theme today for us. Mourniac was able to get up a better than us after coming over through the wrong side... to take some points from us. We did manage to beat him in the one race, so he now has a drop of 11... so any more mistakes and he will be right back.
We were at least able to end the day on a positive note... finally hitting the correct side up the first windward leg to come to second.. only bad thing was Morniac was 1st... so there went yet another point.
The young French team is now a couple points ahead of us so we are sitting 3rd overall- this is still a good place to be... we´re within striking distance and sailing fast, just gotta cut out the mistakes on the first beat -
