WIRW 2012 Day 5 Wrap Up

The fleet did end up heading out into Penn Cove on Friday with light rain but steady 5 knot winds out of The West. We managed to get off one final race for PHRF 8 and it was a good one. The boat I had been helming all week had to return to Seattle early so I was invited on another J80, Crazy Ivan. The boat was owned until recently by the infamous Chris White and is immaculate in every way. I got to call tactics and do some coaching and judging by the smiles on the crews faces they must have been quite happy with their 3rd place finish just 10 seconds out of second place. 2012 was a light air event with half of Monday and Tuesday spent under the AP flag but still a blast in every way. I can't wait for next year. See you back on the KYC Wednesday night start line.
