winds 5-8 and dropping.  no seas. 

racing on southern cross, a comfort cruiser.  we had some wind before the race and at the start. we started on starboard but had to tack to make the line. a good amount of traffic at the line. we were a bit late to the line.

we had a West start and headed out on a port tack. we tacked to starboard and crossed some traffic but ended up behind most of the boats. it was hard to shape the main and the leech wasn't looking good. we put on some tension with the vang and we sped up. we had some trouble getting upwind as we can't point well. past the dust mark we were headed downwind and it was slow. we went wing on wing and setup a prevented.

past the next mark we gybed the jib and tightened up a bit for a beam reach. past the start finish line we retired as the wind completely died.
