Big Daddy - Message from Mark

"geez, thanks for a great day Elise! and I really enjoyed the new company, Belle and Suzanne whom I had never sailed with before.

Not sure on the results yet, but we had a great finish. The downwind leg was well thought-out, well-executed, and resulted in a great opportunity at the finish line that Nathan aggressively took advantage of. Bravo.

I thought our upwind leg to Alcatraz was good, and on the run to Angel Is we certainly picked up a few boatlengths. We cut it a bit too close on the approach to Alcatraz (bad communication) and then went a bit too wide as we
rounded (my bad) but neither cost us much. Other than that, our only big mistake was a bad start, and a lot of that can be blamed on the DELAY, the wind and the committee boat, but of course the final answer is to BE MORE
PREPARED.

Andrew had a great first race on foredeck!"
