Conditions were light winds with thunderstorms around. All the thunderstorms were in the distance and there was just enough wind to leave the dock and get out into the Severn river. We did 2 windward/leeward races. Rhonda was on the helm for the first and Andy on the helm for the second. Just as we were approaching the windward mark, we had a big wind shift of almost 180 degrees and the wind increased. Unfortunately we were near the lead , but after the wind shift we dropped to 4th because other boats were favoured in the new wind direction. We finished strong and had a lot of boat speed at the end, but ran it of room to overtake for 3rd. The second race was shorten because fresh thunderstorms were threatening. We finished a solid second and made it back to the dock safely. What started as a bit of a snoozer, turned into an interesting evening!
