SIRS day 3

A much better day, good 15-20 ENE and we only waited a half hour for the Lasers to finish.
Bora won two races and Dave won the other by a big margin, finally showing everyone the speed we have been talking about.
But Charlie is leading the series with a string of small numbers.
I had an enjoyable day with some close racing for the back of the diminished fleet. Had a few swims in first race but got around clean in the other two and am finally making almost all of the gybes without touchdown. Got real numbers on the score card now, 14, 9 & 11, which do not sound so good but there are some classy sailors in the fleet so I feel happy for an old bloke.
Made the commitment to do the peak hour traffic struggle tomorrow as I have left the boat in the compound for the 10.00 am start.
