For the most part today was a windless wonder offering little in the way of sailing excitement. I was as least as enthusiastic as the next guy to be racing but in almost any other part of the world there would not have been a start today. We raced from SPDP in no more than 3 knots of wind with about 3/4 of the time spent with about 1 knot of breeze. It is frustrating sailing in these conditions because rating adjusted speeds do not factor in and it simply comes down to who has the biggest sails. J ghosted across the line followed by Ghost Rider. John on Flat Chat Too crossed next leading his 2 boat fleet followed closely by Litonya with Pentameter somehow flying a kite hot on our heels. It is always great to be out on the water but after last weeks extraordinary conditions today was a fizzle.
