Yesterday was an incredibly long day on the water-about nine hours-as half the fleet had to complete an extra race. Conditions were light-to-moderate, then building through the day. The wind pulled left throughout the day with a large persistent shift in race two.
Today was the last day of qualifying. Tricky conditions with shifty winds made for a tough day of racing. Fortunately, the wind built through the day to about 15 knots, making for fast downwinds. Tomorrow is the first day of final series. Only four races left!
