A mediocre day at best for us on Artemis. With an 8, 3 we are in 6th overall. We waited until 4 pm to get the first race underway as the wind was light and variable all day. Finally 8 knots of wind filled in and we were off. We had a good start to […]

Today was the first day of the fleet racing series. We had good winds all day, between eight and 12 knots. The wind was from the south and there were some pretty big shifts, and holes as well. Onboard Katusha, we had a moderate day. We are lying 6th after four races, but just three […]
