Today we had to get up earlier, because they wanted to start at 10.30. Unfortunately the wind was not ready and a rain cloud made us wait 2 hours for the first start.

But then the wind picked up again and the first race was started. But the windward mark started to drift and after some confusion with the flag (they first hissed N instead of M) they replaced the mark with a RC-boat. But many sailors of the blue group where already over the layline. They let blue sail but abandoned the race for red just when they arrived at the windward mark. Very very sad for our sailors, because Camillo, Wolf and Damian where on 3rd, 5th and aprox.15th place.

Yellow and Blue finished their race and Red and Green had to wait a long time for their race to start. It took them over 30 min. to fix the mark and to start the race again. Red and Green did their races with Yellow and Blue just behind. The thunderstorms shifted the wind hard to the right for the finishing Blue fleet. And soon after they finished the optis where sent in before the rain and lightning.

So we now have Yellow and Blue with 5 races and Red and Green with 4 races. The resting day will be used as racing day to catch up... :(
