Winter series 17th Oct

race one track, wind was forecast to be 1112-18 knts nw, it was lower than that but got up in the 2nd shorter race, sam was good on his tactics today and made for some good racing against mike.
we started  late in r1 over 2m 20 late
we are 140 behind and the tetra mark in the channel and then led at the end of the lap. we kept the lead all the way tot he finnish.
r2 was windy and mike was catching fast after we had a good start.
at the end of lap 3 mike just took the lead but to the tetra we were racing neck and neck, we tacked off and made our own way back to the line, made allowances to get to the blob mark but then found out we were finishing. mike went straight for the line which was a shorter distance, so they beat us. good racing. i feel better racing myself and sams a very good crew.
