Day 2

Day 2 of the Homer Lowe Regatta had a little more wind than Day 1, but that's not saying much. I still got to kayak, but this time opted to go out to the race course. Dave did not have a good day on Day 1 and came in last during a couple of the races. That's not like him at all. When he was headed out the door he said he couldn't wait until the regatta was over yesterday, but I told him,"Wrong attitude. You need to say today I am going to make up for yesterday." That's exactly what he did. In the first race, he was second until the wind died and another racer found the breeze before he did, so he came in third. That's him in 2nd at the moment,

The course was challenging too, because the kids in Optis and 420 one design boats were racing at the same time as the Sunfish. The photo below shows how Dave had to work around the mark at the same time as the two other classes.

In the second race he came in second, beating several of the really good sailors. I guess that makes HIM one of the really good sailors too!

When the awards were given out, Dave ended up in 5th place overall and he was really happy about that. Some days you're in the groove and others you aren't, so it worked out well.
