You get some strange looks at 5 AM when practicing your throw bagging . I was up and racing and thought that I may as well log some throws while waiting to update my sail race program.

Hoping to finish the race today and we are roughly 50 miles from Marstrand and the wind for the leaders is dying. However all the boats we passed are getting stronger winds and going about twice as fast. Hopiing they will slow as they out sail their wind. The day was spend running around but mainly keeping an eye on this as I would like to finish the leg as close to the front as possible. Yesterday I tacked to port to get into better winds but then fell asleep and when I woke up I had dropped 6,000 places. I was in stronger winds though and have regained most of them I could still finish in the top 10,000 which would be great. This would be a big boost to my overall standing, moving me into the top 5 %. The winds at my location will make this very difficult but I'm manning the helm now to the leg is over.
