Day one of Etchells Worlds
Two races today. A tough day for us that ended pretty well.
Light southerly wind that paid the right hand side all day. Problem was for us that we went to the left on the first beat of the two races. In the first race we won our side by a long way, but had to settle for 4th at the mark and got back to 3rd by the end.
The second race was tougher. 26th at the top mark and dug back to 11th at the end.
Coming first by a point after day one but plenty of golf left in this hole.
Guys are great. Ben did a great job in picking our way thru the fleet and John was on fire on the helm. great guys to sail with. A real privilege for me.

Dog, I’m cheering for y’all from here in Miami. What incredible work to gain 15 boats, particularly in what appeared to be big velocity changes.
