Rain

July 31

The forecast did not just call for rain but it was raining. No doubt about it. Wes called to report its raining and therefore he wasn't sailing! after OOPS I and II _I_ wasn't not going sailing.

We had a good start. Windlight was ahead. The main problem was downwind. We could not get the chute to fly. As a result Jazz was able to catch us and for a short time was ahead we finally managed to get the chute to work enough to get ahead. i was impressed with Hardtack; they had a full chute and were able to 'motor' through the fleet. At least we didn't let Jazz beat us in real time (but that is a sad state of affairs).  There were only three boats out so another third.

On the back I realized that I was wet and decided to put on my jacket. Not a great day.
