Last Wednesday marked the last race of the Spring Series of Wednesday night sailboat racing that I participate in. I race on "Goldeneye" a Jeaneau Selection 37 in the Boston Yacht Club's Wednesday night races up in Marblehead. We've done pretty well for ourselves, taking first in our class for the Spring Series. Last night was the first race of the Summer Series and we took a second in wind which was a little bit above our ideal range. Our boat shines in very light air. We blundered the first upwind leg of the race and there were five boats around the first mark ahead of us, but the second upwind leg and the second downwind leg saw us rolling over a number of boats and making a huge comeback and we were first over the finish line making for a solid second place finish based on our handicap.
