The weather couldn't be better. Sunday's breeze was in the mid-teens and the group got 3 great races in. Doug Clark's team on Blind Squirrel was leading after Day 1.

They held their lead after another 4 races on Monday. Once again the story is the weather. 70s and sunny and great wind!!! 2nd place tie between Twins and Team Tarheel with Chris Snow's 5277 in 4th after a good Monday.

As I sit in the club to catch up on some work on Tuesday morning, the forecast is for some lighter winds and rain. The group is heading out and seem to have enough breeze to go straight downwind (not VMG), which is a good indication of more great sailing.

I'm heading off the dock and will hopefully post an update with scores tonight. There have been a number of protests, which is common for a group that races as tight as these guys.
