The Black Flag was back today and we got caught. We sailed up to the windward mark, not in particularly good shape and saw our bow number posted so we retired. The day was supposed to be w windy one from the NW. We put our heavy air main on for the trials to give […]
Today started off slowly. The forecast was for 5-10 knots from the SSW. Eventually the wind was supposed to go all the way to the WSW. There is a cold front expected tonight and WNW winds 10-15 for tomorrow. However, the gradient was weak today and it was very hot. For 2 hours, from 1200-1400, […]
Yesterday we had a day ashore, working on our masts, and getting items on our work list checked off. It was nice to be off the water for a day. I went to the gym late in the afternoon with our Sam and had a good high energy workout. Sam has changed our workout routine […]
Winds were 130 at 10-14 knots today. The water a bit smoother than yesterday. The day started out at 0645 with a run to the gym and then an hour and a half work out with our trainer Sammy. Shower and breakfast and down to the club by 0945. We went out with the

Recently during a training regatta for my Star Olympic Trials, I got reacquainted with an old friend. A friend that I sailed with in my first America
No wind today… No races. So the final standings are those of yesterday: 1) Reynolds/Erickson (USA) 37, 2) Beashal/Giles (AUS) 44, 3) Loof/Eckstrom (SWE) 51, 4) Domingos/Santos (POR) 51, 5) Cayard/Trinter (USA) 52, 6) Holm/Olsen (DEN) 53, 7) Koch/Koy (GER) 55, 8) Neeleman/Van Niekerk (NED) 58.

We had our best and worst today. In fact 4 out of the top 5 had their worst race today. The wind was 8 knots in the first race from 125 and 6 knots in the second race from 120. In the first race, we won the pin end and were able to tack and […]
Today we had some consistency and some luck. The day started out with 16-22 knots from the Northwest. This is typically a very shifty direct as the wind comes off the shore and today was typical. Sometimes the left looks good and sometimes the right comes good. Very hard to know. In the first two […]
