I am EJ O'Mara, a 20-year-old Laser sailor from Burton, MI. The Laser, a 14' singlehanded dinghy, is an olypmic class boat. My dream is to compete in the Olympics and my goal is to do it in 2020 in the Laser.

Rain Day
Today was an interesting mix between intense weather and good sailing conditions. Most of the morning was taken up by a torrential downpour that took all the wind, followed by light wind around noon. Then the breeze filled in and the rain went away at about 1 so we went out racing! Half way up the first beat of my best race yet, the RC abandoned due to thunderstorms coming our way. It was an excited sail downwind while watching the lightning strike behind you! And after that, more systems came rolling through which cancelled the sailing for the day. After a shifty day yesterday with questionable race management I am sitting back in 23rd, so I am very excited to get some solid racing in tomorrow!
