spring series 2 april 7th

wind was forcast 15knts and building easterly. after rigging the boat and also sorting the new boat berth, i found a small hole in the foot of the mast about level with the sail slot, i dont think its structral but wa advised to fill it to stop water getting in and causing more corrosion.
the wind was very cold and sea was wavy. i felt fairly relaxed which was unusual
made a reasonable start but couldnt get the boat going fast, on port tack seemed better, maybe it was the waves stopping us.
off 1 to 2 was fun and the waves were slapping the side of the boat and getting us soaked, and it was freezing cold as well.
first down wind was not good so the next lap we went right and then headed for the mark. 3 to 4 was fast and had no problems at all. 4 to the committee boat was into the wind and wave and found it hard again to make the boat move.
Lauren went out on the wire the first beat and that was it, DIDNT LIKE IT !!
she didnt really need too, to be honest the boat didnt heal at all.
overall for the first race we did ok as a team, did nothing wrong at all, all good tacks and gybes, just needed to speed up.
finished 5th from a strong 5 man field.
