Two more races were held today. The day started off very slow with the wind never staying still and never getting much past 4 knots. After an hour of postponement the race committe decides to go for it. The black flag was in effect so I wanted to be careful especially with the current pushing everyone over the line. I managed to squeeze out a lane for the drag race to the windward on port and was top ten rounding the first mark. After that I passed a few boats on the downwind and scraped a 5 out of that very slow race.
Once that race finished, the wind died and we sat around for about an hour and a half. What happened next was close to a mirracle. After hours of nothing the wind shifted and the breeze filled in from the west at 15 knots coming right under the golden gate bridge! This race was solid from start to finish, after a good start, rounding the windward in third and someone dropping out from a bfd I finshed 2nd to end the day! Im standing in third overall after two days.
