Well today was pretty shocking again, there was about 15 knots of wind at first and I thought we would actually get a couple of races in… Would be the first time! Then before we knew it the conditions changed again, the wind dropped out and we were forced into a postponement again… we were on the water for a very long time again today, just short of 7 hours i think. The wind eventually came back in after the two fleets in front of mine races got cancelled, then came the generals again… I was in the last of 4 fleets to go and so I had to still wait general after general through - this made me the most frustrated I have been all week because I was so eager to race today in that wind, I was itching to race so much and I just couldn’t. Finally it came to my start and we had a couple of generals and I think a combination of being to eager to get off the line and everyone around me moving forward on the line forced me over the line on a black flag start even though it was a general… it was the worst feeling seeing my number as being disqualified in the first race of the series and after being out there all day to do one start and get flagged on it made me soo angry it wasn’t funny. Then it began to rain and the wind dropped out again and we were sent in without a second race…
Oh well I had an OCS in my first race of the 4.7 nationals and I still won them by 30 points so I know I can do this also… not completely the same level of competition but still the same concept and I am staying positive. But still it doesn’t help my cause to get this amount of points straight off.
Well im tyred now, sorry this one was short but it’s been a long day and I need my rest… Until tomorrow – lata
