B2, Nirvana

I am really starting to like these Wednesday night races! Last night made two weeks in a row of near perfect sailing conditions. Warm temperatures, steady South winds of 10-12 knots and sunshine were the ingredients for a perfect night of sailing. The course was SADXCAF and were perfect angles for our asymmetric spinnaker. The majority of the race saw some very competitive sailing between Ghost Rider, Decision, J 29 Boat and the Martin 244.   We managed to sneak ahead of the pack on the first windward mark rounding and sailed in mostly clear air for the much of the race. Litonya managed to cross the finish well ahead of the crowd but still managed to be beaten on corrected time by Pentameter. Woo Hoo also continued in her winning ways with a close 3rd. Be sure to check out the movie of the week on oksailing.com, it should be a good one!
