We saw a whale on the way out. This picture actually shows the spout. It also breached once, it was fabulous to see.
Nathan took us out in light winds
We called the layline about 3 miles out
Spinnaker ready to go. We did a jibe set
Getting close to the mark thanks to a 2 knot ebb even that far out of the gate. In fact there was ebb the entire friggin' day.
Taking the geona down on Elise's big brother type boat, the Express 37.
Elise liking it
On the way back, we went North (following Wetsu) as there was still heavy ebb current and we wanted current relief and getting. Wetsu did fabulously well, first express to finish and 3rd overall.
Headstay reaching for most of the way in 8 or so knots of wind
Our current strategy involving several jibes paid off as we finished ahead of the boats who rounded the mark ahead of us
The fleet slowly reappears from the fog
420s had a race. Fun!
