final of series

it was foggy when i left home at 730 and little wind predicted.
after a snooze i was woken by the sun shinning into the van, new launch wheels were added to the boat and worked very well.
sam arrived after a long spell of no crewing with me, the job to do was to beat mike and kamil.
the first race i got to a good start in hardly any wind. after going way right when i tacked  kamil had done much better.
by the end of the lap we were not to far behind, course was  triangle(laid by club) far beacon club.
2nd l;ap the tide was getting us to go around the windward mark. we fell behind and mike was catching. we made up some goround on kamil and the wind filled slightly.
it wasa long race 1h 13m
durng the break we quickly replaced the lower batten which was broken.
r2 was far beacon (s) 3(s) club(s)  a funny start as we went to early headed off mike to the pin, he was over so was i and kamil was behind, i quickly went behind the line and started again and soon got close to kamil. it was close for the rest of the race even doing a port starboard on them at far beacon.
i made one mistake gybing off to soon on one lap so we fell behind a little.
mike was behind but catching slowly.
we ended 2nd again and enjoyed the wind that made up for r1.
kamil took the series and i was 2nd, first time ever a 2nd in a series.
