Course B a downwind race with only 1 or 2 knots of air. This is race I would rather forget. We got about 100 feet past the starting line and the wind died. We were drifting toward mark D and worked on getting to the right of the mark since the current was pulling us down. We managed to maneuver between Dirty Harry and Windshadow at the mark since Windshadow was going really slow. The next leg we were ahead of HT and NM and tacked to starboard so that we would not get caught on the wrong side of DP7 with the current. HT and MV kept on the board and managed to get lifted to the mark and we rounded dead last. At this point Flyin Irish dropped out and we jibed at the mark to catch a little wind but the other boats were just too far ahead. After DP5 we practically drifted to the finish line. Sometimes I just hate Lake St. Stupid. At least James's son JD had a good time and the fireworks were good.
Result: 4 out 5 J120s
