after a very cold night i was greeted by a north easterly and breaking waves in the bay.
a bit apprehensive i rigged the boat and then alan gould turned up to crew.
it was a windward leward course which made a change to be honest.
we outwitted pete and then found ourself with mark and desney. after two laps of following alan suggested going further on the beat and made the mark easy and ahead of mark and desney. however next lap i messed up by not ducking the stern of a wayfarer and went into irons when they called starboard.
i lost 2 places to mark and desney and phil p , however i did regain that spot the next lap with a better upwind leg.
after the race it was some helming tuition for alan, he found it all strange at first but im sure he will get it sorted.
pleased with today apart from the mistake.
