It’s been a Tricky week. The prevailing north easterly we had during the Pre Worlds in December never materialised and it was a week of fickle southerly winds. I got off to a good start with a 3rd in the first race and was on track for another in the second race until the last beat when I hooked something on my rudder and went painfully slow to be overtaken by 5 boats. I just didn’t seem to be getting the lucky breaks. In race 6 I got caught on the wrong side of a 40 degree shift and despite the race officers team advising him to abandon the race and restart it, he decided to ignore their advice and allow the race to continue.
I did have some good races though and a great day on Friday when I bounced back to have a 2nd and 1st. I finished the regatta with a 2nd which pulled me up to 4th overall.
Although really disappointed not to have medaled, the boat was going well and I showed i’m more than capable of finishing in the top three.

Relaxing and cycling in St Pete at the moment. Just did a 76 mile ride today which got rid of some of the frustration. Looking forward to heading south to Miami on Thursday and the start of Miami OCR next Monday
