Thanks for sharing with us "How We Did It!" What was the thinking about going to the seawall on the 2nd beat, when you had done so well going right on the first? We were too far behind to see what might lead you to do this (but bowing to your proven wisdom, we followed you over there, only to see Ted in 145 do better on the right side of the course) On another note, great to see Folly (143) do so well off the line and up the first beat. They took the start down the line to leeward of us, pulled away from everyone and were certainly pointing well. Nice job, Kim! Reed Baer, on Grace, 107 Jamie, great report, just what we are looking for in the “Bullet Blog”. Thanks for sharing with us “How We Did It!”
