There was a moderate NWerly which promised for some exciting sailing down the back. We stayed high and hoisted later, but not late enough - so we had to drop to do more two-sailing to the buoy - arse! There was then a kite-run at Mach 10 (approx.) when the main challenge was to stay to windward of the keelboats which make huge wind shadows - also avoiding them when they broach is important. The last leg was up and down: Close hauled from zero wiring to flat out twinning and back again to the end.
