Nickel Coin racing again

Well we "actually" went racing. I showed up at 5:30, I was delayed at work Launching a maintenance team project.
Warm to start with and little breeze until we got out into the bay. Then I put my fleas on.
We didn't make a great start as we were sorting out missing ropes and the like. The course was OK with a good beat to I from X then a run back across the bay. We prayed for no spinnaker jibe as we were using the spare halyard for a spinnaker pole up haul and as we use a 2 pole system we would have to use the one off the Genoa.
Then it rained but it was not cold and we had plenty of warning to break out the oilies.
The race was shortened so the beer leg was back to the mooring. On the mooring we played hunt the hole in the spinnaker, patching tape at the ready. We stopped looking when we had run out of tape.
No idea of the result (we didn't win) but I don't care ! I enjoyed it.

P.S. 7th
