Team Sawyer Day 1 Southern Circuit St Pete
Day one St Pete.
46 boats. The pre race mentor talk explained tide and current in the part of Tampa bay where we race. Wind should clock right all day , we have wind this morning from the correct direction so we are not postponed. Race 1, 10mph SSW. Dan &Jackson Morton are on for this regatta. We have some team work to improve. We improved with each race. Finishes: 34 after taking a 20% penalty before a protest hearing .In the first race we entered the weather mark zone on port could not complete our tack before forcing a boat on starboard to alter course above close hauled. We did not hear "protest" on the water but knowing the other party he is unlikely to be faking it. We improved all day : 21,19,16.
Class party tonight on the docks in the marina. We are taking dark & stormys to share.
Took some photos from the boat. See Below!
