OK, We’re offshore now, approaching Pacifica. The wind is about 15 kts from the NW and the seas quite comfortable.
The race start-time was delayed for about an hour due to very light winds. It took us a few tries to make it across the starting line, and the strong flood current kept pushing us back. We stayed close to the north side of the bay as we clawed our way under the bridge, and I think we were the last boat to clear Land’s End.
We had a very successful Radio Check net, and are now concentrating on reeling in the rest of the fleet. I see a spinnaker in our future!
