3 bridge fiasco - Red Rock


This photo was taken aboard Motorcycle Irene (Will Paxton, Zach Anderson), heading to the mark the other way around

 Riding the wind as far as I can...

I kept listening to the VHF all day all the way until 7pm to find out if there would be one finisher.


Wind get lighter and lighter on the way to Red Rock, you can see a no wind at all area ahead.


Even thinner!!


Until it died completely


Dropping the spinnaker and raising the jib as the kite was so droopy that it wouldn't carry the boat forward. The jib was better able to keep some kind of shape in the light air and keep the boat moving.

Not by much...

Close to Red Rock I called it a day...and turned around.
