Tune-Up 2

We had a good day out on the water for Tune-Up 2 today. Things started off with very light winds out of the North and a course of SCAF to complete. Upwind, Woo Hoo managed to find the bottom around the red marker just North of the start line. A good reminder that spring water levers are always a little lower than we recall. About 7 boats showed up and battled it out in very shifty conditions the whole first race. The downwind leg from C to A quickly turned into another upwind leg with boats doing circles just trying to keep the sails filled on the right sides. The last leg from A to F was slightly better with the Northerly winds filling in quite nicely to about 10 kts just in time to Finish. At this point I am not sure how the ratings will mix things up but line honors went to Hopscotch. The second race was sailed in very different conditions. A steady 10kts of Northerly breeze held up for the quick sprint from SCF. The fleet really seemed to get into the groove for this fast race with line honors going to Litonya. It was great to get out there again after a long winter.
