ABYC OCR 2009

So yea, welcome to the magical land of excuses. Lets see what went wrong... Haven't been in a Laser since Turkey Day.. Only going to the gym twice a week.. Ugh this was just a miserable regatta. Saturday the wind was just too light for the first 3 races, and that's not a fun way to get back into it, and my results show it. The last race the wind picked up to pre and then mini hiking, and my results improved to almost normal, I lost a couple more places than I wanted, but I was getting there. Sunday was hell in a hand basket. It just nuked, not even funny. Mid-ish 20's, like 25-27, gusting into the 30's. I didn't even go out, thankfull that was the only race so it was my drop, no worries there. I didn't want to break something, or injure myself. Plus MWW is next weekend, so there's 3 days of sailing. I don't remember how many went out Sunday, but 7 got scored for the race, 1 DNF, and 10 DNF's, out of 18! That's saying something.

So yea, whats up?

I know I haven't posted much, but its mainly because I haven't done much lately. I've been doing a good bit of big boat racing which is great fun. I used to be on a NM 55, but that looks like its trying to be sold, so its not racing too much. I've been grabbed by a NM 41, and am doing bow for them, and I think I can learn a lot more with them which is great. Also the possibility of doing Ensenada with them is very appealing! Laser racing is coming back into the picture, ABYC OCR was this weekend which I'll report on, and MWW is next. Other than that school is kicking my ass, but grades up as always. Back to the gym again, and always working on the house. People said the college life was easy, they were obviously liars!
