One time we were caught in a big wind shift turning a run into a beat...

Its amazing that a choice can have that much of an impact.


Nah, don't really regret it... it's one less silver knicknack at this
point, although I'd still like to bring home a few more before it's
over. The fun memory is the main thing.

Anyway, I should have known better than to try and tack with the
spinnaker up. They drape over the spreaders and form a huge air brake...
maybe with some practice you could learn to back the boat around, but
I'm satisfied to not try again... well maybe for fun sometime

Hey OZ what about you?
