This was to be a 2 race windward leeward series. The first race was set in about 6 knots of air with the line straight. We started in the middle but Hot Ticket managed to get on the left of us and eventually we had to tack to port and duck Ihnsanity. We wanted to get on the right side of the course but we soon found out that the left side had more pressure near the shoreline. We rounded the first mark in fourth place but picked off two boats on the downwind side by going near shore. After rounding the leeward mark we tacked to starboard to get back to the shore. We got a lot of distance up to HT but after rounding we stayed near the shore on the downwind leg. It turned out there was more pressure this time out in the lake and Night Moves nearly caught us at the finish. Because of the lack of wind they canceled the second race. Just another typical day on Lake St. Stupid.
Result: 2nd out of 4 J120s
