There are good days and bad days. Even on Elise believe it or not. Everything felt wrong at the Spring Keel's first race. We didn't seem to be 'with it'. Slow start, difficulties to point, slow maneuvers, slow moving around the boat, a round up...and when we got to the windward mark, it was still attached to the boat that carried it - there were a few mishaps with the race folks on the water - two boats rounded the mark right before us and the boat started to move forward (not just keeping up with the current, it really did move forward) We had started our turn, touched the boat (since they were the mark, it was equivalent to touching the mark and we had to do our 360 penalty donut turn. We even messed up the docking :)
The second day was more like a race, we were starting to get back in the swing of things, we had some good boat speed, but still, not quite our usual selves...
And guess what, the results are there to prove it!
It was such a beautiful weekend though!
