Sailing on SRQ Bay....Priceless

Another of our updates on a fantastic day of racing on Sarasota Bay. Temps in the 70s and about 8 kts of breeze. Made for a great afternoon of tight racing. This week we had 10 boats racing. Once again things were tight at the top. We managed a 4th for the weekend, one point behind the 2nd and 3rd place boats. As I had mentioned in previous posts the finishes are often bang bang and this week was no different. We got nosed out by inches in the last race to get a 2nd. A first would have had all the tiebreakers for the day put us in 2nd for the day. We are still sometimes a little out of synch with sail trimming, mostly to do with, I think, getting the right combination of vang and mainsheet correct. When we do get the boat dialed in we are scary fast.
A great group of competitive sailors, a great bay to sail on. It just doesn't get any better.
