Elise entered the Nationals just to practice - we were short handed all days and we had a new crew that we were training up - and a highly promising one too!
on Friday, it was Chris ( poor Chris with the flu who was so tired he had to spend most of the race down below), Vlad, Nathan and Nat.
We started with a 3 because we were short handed but had to switch back to the 1 as the wind died only to see 18+ at the gate and overpowered. Bad tactical call on the way back from Point Bonita made up opt for a leisurely sail back to the Club instead of fighting current all the way back.
There was improvement every day htough and fun 100% of the time. We finished 0% of the races on day 1, 66% of the races on day 2 and 100% of the races on day 3.
We ended up having pizza at Waypoint! - and wine :)
The winner of the race of the day!
on our way up
We saw dolphins!!
Yeah, we were a little behind
Interestingly a lot of the fleet overstood the mark
Overall it was a beautiful day
Yup, still upwind looking a spinnakers on their way back
We did make it to the downwind part!
Fantastic wind by the bridge.
Nice ship on our way back
The tender at the back is from the same era.
