After a few weeks of light air we finally got a little more breeze for this weeks race. The fleets were pretty thin with many competitors out on the lake sailing in the end to end race this weekend. Under partly cloudy skies we had a steady 10 knots out of the North and finally got some much needed variation in our race course for today. It was to be SPCDCAF for the first time this year. There were only 6 boats on the start line for fleet 1 so finding a good lane was not going to be a problem today. We had a good start but quickly got over run by the J29. It was a series of short tacks with most of the fleet staying close to the Eastern shore hoping for the lift normally associated with a Northern breeze. It was a nice back and forth on the race course but we just couldn't find the breeze to get us moving fast. Another good showing by the J29 who have proven themselves as the boat to beat.
