As we thought/feared, the NE Santa Ana and the prevailing westerly spent most of the day fighting each other. We drifted around for an hour before we finally got enought wind (like 4-5 kts) for the RC to start. Lots of 30 deg. shifts to get on the wrong side of. We ended the day in 10th place with an 11-7-13 string. The 13th was kind of disappointing. We were 5th through the last weather mark and then encountered a starboard-leeward J105, followed by an agressive luff from another Etchells and had to do a penalty turn. Here are a couple of pix the show the action on Saturday.
