SBYC Wet Wednesday March 20, 2019 on J70 Escape

Last Wet Wednesday was special for me. We won. My boat Escape and my team were not even expected to come even close to the other three competors. I did not have my new regatta sails up. Yet we won. We had an excellent start. We sailed a conservative race. Our spinnaker douses where early so that we would not pass the mark. All in all, it was a good day.

Since the GPS data on my GoPro was a little wonky, this a summary from the extracted files with anything over 20 statute miles per hour deleted:

It 12+ mph or 11.3 knots is not bad!

I was surprised that we made it onto drone footage. It was very cool to see us on one of our better days! Starts at 15:08.
