Round HK Island race

Frustrating.... best way to put it for today.

Not a great start and we were on the back foot from the get go, but after being miles behind at one stage. We managed to get back in the game when the fleet parked up on the back side of the island. So we went from last to first!! and then back again! It was very tricky to work around the headlands and bays, not much logic to a lot of it which left us scratching our heads most of the time!

The final run in super light breeze was terrible, I got really greedy on one side of the harbour and we worked our way down the windward shore in a great puff which gave us a shot at the lead with only half a mile to go, but we managed to park it in a bay while the rest of the guys wafted through on the lee shore.. Even the Oman blue boat almost caught us and they were so far back at one stage we forgot they were even out there!

So, put that one up to experience... Now its time for a bit of dinner and an early night, up to 8 races planed for tomorrow and my shoulder is a bit sore so maybe its worth trying to find a physio..
