Very frustrating to be the smallest boat in a race that is taking twice as long as normal. Especially since this race is 100% about getting to the breeze first and every other strategy is secondary. So far, we are constantly showing up late to the wind party and getting creamed.
Also, it’s raining.
On the other hand, “talk like a pirate hour” from 1000-1100 is a huge hit with the crew.
