The first day was saw zero wind for the majority of the day. We were hoping to get some racing in as the last time we raced the boat was at WIRW in 09' so needless to say, we were ready for some racing action. We were also very rusty and I needed to get used to sailing the B again. There are a handful of tricks to sailing that boat, and we always seem to easy back into them once we have some consistent time in on the boat. The thing that was fantastic was the crew work. The team jumped right back into action, and we were setting and dousing without breaking a sweat (just don't let me hook up the kite!). 
So no racing during the first day, the wind filled in right after the RC called it for a day, oh well. So we sailed back in with the filling northerly and really enjoyed the sail. It was great to see all the boats out and we have a big variety out there for sure. Jim's J-24, Eric's Wavelength 24, Team Swack on the Santana, Team Yeah Dogg Olsen 25, Bob and the U-20, Steckman's SJ 24, and a Tom and the US25, not to mention a few other boats.
The second week Kevin come down with a cold and we decided to give it a go with three despite the 15-20 knot Southerly that was forecasted. The entire fleet dusted off their #3s and we went at it. The B loved it and we were flying. We were so excited with the weather and our downwind speed that we forgot to really pay attention where we were supposed to go. So we managed to win the first race and then proceed to two more DNF scorings for the day. Regardless, we managed to hit double digits a handful of times with our top speed of 11.9 knots! Joey and Vic were in the zone and our boat handling was great.
Week three was run in a bit of a convergence zone between a light southerly and a harbor breeze trying to fill in from the north, so needless to say we managed to hoist the kite a few times on the upwind leg and the downwind leg. It really was a bit of a crazy shifty race, but it was great practice in shifting gears and the boats that reacted the fastest pulled away.
The last friday saw a nice building southerly, but it was not our day. We managed to hit the weather mark, then hoist our kite up sideways (seems that I forgot how to connect a kite after being in the back of the bus all this time), and then we had a halyard disconnect at the masthead when the kite filled. So we sailed the rest of the race doing all our mark roundings bareheaded....not ideal. We managed to laugh the whole way thru and really had a blast. We hope all our cobwebs are dusted off before we head down south to PSSR to run with the big dogs.
