Day two lived up to it predicted strong winds. With winds in the mid 20’s and plenty of thunder and lightening, the Race Committee did not hesitate to cancel the racing for the day.

Danny and I had a good day finishing up our work list and repairs in between rain squalls. We then took the boat out for a check sail in the harbor. Luckily we did as another thing broke that would have prevented us from racing. So we went back in and fixed that. Should be all good to go.

Two races are scheduled for tomorrow with the first warning signal at 10:30.

With this weather, it’s hard to remember that it is July. I know a lot of you back home are getting ready for the fourth. Wishing you a great one!
