Saturday began with an onshore postponement as we waited for wind to fill in. Tom Egli used the extra time to do a complete tune of David and Mona's rig. A light northerly filled in around 11:00 and we were soon on the water. The wind was never as strong as it looked, and potholes were everywhere.

Racing was fairly tight on the first day, with positions switching constantly as the wind shifted 45 degrees or more on every leg. Mike McEvoy was consistently fast in the light and shifty conditions, pulling off a 1 and 2 before having to retire for the day as his crew needed to attend a wedding Saturday evening. Six Fireballs in total enjoyed the light and shifty winds Saturday, although a couple were not able to return for Sunday.

Sunday morning the wind was again very light, but from the south and building. Two quick short races (20 minutes start to finish for the leading boats) were banged off in the building winds before the race committee decided to extend the course for the 505's and Fireballs with an extra windward leeward for the final three races of the day. Sunday saw tight racing for second place between Rob T, Alan Spurdle, and Ian MacLaren with frequent position changes. Tom and I were able to find our speed a bit better on the second day, and only had one entanglement on the first beat of the first race. (Getting a knock, we tacked to cross the fleet, only to find ourselves temporarily in a hole. The wind returned but we found Rob was suddenly pointing 5 degrees higher and coming with speed, and he had to duck our transom. After doing a 720 (we needed the boat handling practice anyway!) we got to the windward mark in a tie for last place with Mike McEvoy, who was a little off the pace Sunday with a light weight crew and no hiking straps. On the reaches Tom worked his spinnaker magic and we were able to close the gap on the leaders before the leeward mark.)
