the practice race was preceded by a rainstorm with some (but not a lot of) wind. lucas and other teams decided to use the course but start in a group after the official start, which made for a much better (rule-abiding) practice race than usually happens at international events. the breeze had typical shifts (at one point, boats on opposite tacks on opposite sides of the upwind leg were sailing 180 degrees from each other). wade and chris had the best race, but for all the learning continues...
off now to the opening ceremonies...race 1 tomorrow!
