ILCA state championships

Ouch! It is hard getting up early after a good party (Navy Ball) to be on time in Austin. From sunny Florida to sunny Austin. I joined about 60 sailors to race in the 2024 Road Runner Regatta, organized by the Austin Yacht Club (https://austinyachtclub.theclubspot.com/regatta/8qxTPZW5O3). The first day there was no racing due to no wind conditions. In contrast, on the 2nd day there was a lot of racing due to high wind conditions. What a difference a night can make! The water level in the lake was super low so the racing area was fairly small. The conditions were quite challenging because of the large wind shifts all the time. But in the end, I secured 3rd place! As always, the water was deep blue color and if you did not know better you could be sailing in the Caribbean 😉
