Diana Oros

Downwind start, wind from Northwest, current ebbing. A bit late turning around to hoist and make our go for the start, willy wall side, but we were clear and caught some boats. Human pole entire time. Hit the first downwind mark after tacking cause a boat said we didn't have room (we did), tacked back to round the mark, tacked to head in for current relief towards Ellis, did our 360. Had enough space to set pole. Wind lighter about halfway through, tried to stay hot and keep pressure, and get out for the current to sweep to mark. Good rounding, perhaps wide, another boat barged in. Upwind second leg was ok, avoided slow spots at south and north east of the cove. Stayed high on last tack because some boats weren't quite making it. Final half downwind leg, had enough room for pole. Neck and neck with 5, we were a bit ahead and gaining, then wind went down and they were gaining, then we were gaining and won. We were going pretty hot. Pin had definitely drifted Northwards. Roxane driving, Chloe trimming, Sam pit, Katie mast, Diana bow. Katie and Diana shared mast and bow duties partially.

Downwind start. Port boat didn't yield at first downwi mark, our stbd quarter bumped their hull, had to retire.

Strong wind, went back early. Chloe and Roxane hoisted and doused main and jib shorthanded

Wind shifty back and forth. Current stronger than anticipated. Chloe helm Katie trim Diana pit Roxane bow

Current relatively strong going out. Practiced two downwind legs, focus on jibing practice with spin & pole. Katie primarily trimmed, Laura primarily did pit, Diana primarily did bow, Chloe helmed. There was a bit of switching around, with focus on practicing spin trimming. Also practiced starts. Got to the line right on time, but with the strong current pushing into the line while no other boats to practice against, not necessarily the most realistic practice because there was no one pushing us up.

Downwi start, decided to avoid the cluster/ start from behind & with wind. Worked well, got inside rounding at downwind mark. Came in fifth. Potential improvement to not tack too soon if there are current concerns.

Strong wind, main sheet caught caught and we couldn't turn down and collided with another boat - lesson for the future is to uncleat the main when tacking in crowded conditions/ strong wind. Also bumped my head on the boom when jibing, lesson learned to safety jibe a bit more in strong wind.

Started about 8 minutes late

Spin practice Diana practiced trimming spin & jibing, and docking
