We raced the long distance race today, starting in super light winds which built to around 9 knots. We were third at the windward, leeward and “zulu” marks; we picked up one boat along the way and lost two (due to skill, a undersized reaching spinnaker and weeds on the rudder). 551 “Graffti” tracked us for the rest of the race, closing to within 2 feet but we ended up beating them by 40 seconds.

We got 4th to leave us in 6th place overall. Very nice, but one middle race could take us into the mid-teens. Tomorrow’s the last day, 2 races max.
