What a beautiful day for an IOD race with John Evans. It’s started so nicely with practice tacks and gybs. 

We had a good start to the first race but quickly fell behind with the lack of sailing knowledge with the two other crew. Then on the down wind the spinnaker got caught and completely tangled. Then we finished way behind. Super frustrating.

Then the second race started clean. Good start. Then slowly we fell behind again. Main sail trim was an issue due to the other crew again. We tried to correct with positive vibes and instructions (on the fly) I was on jib sheets, fine tune, sail adjustments foredeck and spinnaker. 

Would’ve been better to sail the boat with just John and I, honestly. Big lessons learned. Fully exhausted! 

Hope to be back on Sat & Mon
