JAM 2009

The Jam regatta was last weekend and was pretty fun. There was very flukey wind the majority of the regatta and many lulls, but we had some pretty good races. I cannot think of anyone who did well in every race. I placed 4th and 6th in two of the races, but also had some races that were not very good. The second day of racing was delayed for a few hours, but eventually got under way, with conditions about the same as the first day. It was great practice in light wind and I cant wait to do it again next year!

JO's

It has been awhile now since the NW Junior Olympics at Shilshole, but now I finally have the chance to write about it. They were a blast and although there was no wind the majority of the time, the wind picked up some at the end of both days, especially Saturday. I did decently, receiving 11th of 23 boats. I was pleased with my performance in the light air with the current and even received a 5th in one of the races. I sailed my laser radial and can't wait to sail in JO's again next year.
