Friday January 9th -We did some tweaking on the boat and actually managed to get out for a bay sail in the afternoon. We connected with another Etchells, for some tuning, but the afternoon winds were fluky making it difficult to learn much.
We all attended a seminar on the rule changes conducted by Dave Perry at SDYC. Good presentation and some of the changes are well worth noting. When you all hear us hailing "mark room" as we enter the THREE boat length zone, you'll have it.
Forecast for today is a NE Santa Ana wind -- hot dry winds that blow strongly inland and then bounce against the westerly sea breeze. This generally produces a dead zone in the racing area or strange course orientations -- like our easterlies in B'ham.
Looks like we should have about 20 boats on the line today. Towing out at 9:30. Joyce is on RC again this year.
Outta here....
