Maybe it's me but we came last again. We got diverted just before the start with one boat in trouble with their sails and then another pushing us up as I tried to get a good spot on the line. So we started badly and then stayed last from then on. But it was another nice day with wind from 10-15 knots most of the time and we tried sailing with the jib furled a bit to reduce some overpowering. This worked quite well although in hindsight maybe it was a tad too furled for the conditions. Also we had only Julie, Jenni and me on board which meant the girls were a bit worn out towards the end. But our handicap continues to drop and that can't be bad.
The only sour note was that the Balmain race officials managed to remove the last mark before we got to it and then neglected to collect us from the mooring so we had to drop Julie off at the pontoon to ask them to come. It took the edge off the day but after some abject apologies and denials that they didn't want is racing with them, and a cold beer, all was forgiven.
