late summer series 15th aug

well richard couldnt make it and no one else available so i went solo.  the morning started early as i took the contender down to the club as well.
uo at 4am and on the road by 430 got to the club just after 6 .
the boat was unloaded and nick noble who was staying overnight for the contender open gave me a hand to sort and rig the boat   that was a good move
i moved the boat into d18 berth  ironic.
then after a quick snooze i was back and ready for the racing
wind was lively to start but on the water didnt do much. i had a good start but then went into irons for no reason , so i was 3 dart all the way until mike went in land and i dint i went straight for the club outer mark. i got ahead and that where i stayed the whole race about an hours racing.thena the finnish i found out kamil had gone wrong and i beat him too.  so first dart  yipee

2nd race i was pushed for time as richard was helping to do the trapeze lines for me. i said to kamil get up to the line then promptly messed it up myself. i did re catch mike and was sort of making ground s on kamil however mike overtook again upwind and then went wrong at boundary so i re overtook. up wind final lap i could se kamil but too far away, mike was fairly close
again another hour for the race aprox  6.5 miles for 2nd race
course was boundary then no 2
