Winter series chills out. Record is broken.

As we started setting up the course in what was predicted to be a typical westerly following the 25 knot winds of the previous day we were feeling too warm and noticed the wind turning to the south. We set up a short southerly course in a genteel 3-7 knot breeze and started about 10 boats in each fleet. After a shortened finish in the first race we made the course even shorter for the second as the wind dropped. Ultimately we shortened this race at the top mark on the second work where the fleet was closest to home and did not run the third race. Later in the afternoon a nice breeze came up but too late for us.
Lets hope for good wind for the last two races of this series.
