Second Day Of Racing In Bermuda, Team Racing and Rest Day

In the hotel that I am staying at the Wi Fi is really hard to connect to. I haven't been able to write on my website for the last two days. I am really sorry but I will cover everything.

Our second day of racing was a terrible day for me. I'm not quite sure why but I had two rwally bad races and one OK race. The first race I did't have a good start at all. I reacheds the upwind mark looked back and saw about ten other people behind me. I kept that position for thw whole downwind/reach. I finally finished that race in about bottom 20. The second races after talking with my coach I was really trying to get a good start. I did't have anyone to leeward of me. I got off the starting line with a really good position but got rolled at the stared. I finished that race in about bottom 30. The last and third race of the day I had a really good start and did't get rolled. I rounded the windward mark in  about 25. On the last up wind I finished in about top 20. Not my best day but hoping I will have betters.


Team Racing
There are 8 people on our team. So we were able to enter two team racing teams. My team was Me, Justin Vitqoc, David Sapp and Eric Lyal. We raced the first race of the day against Bermuda3. We won that race. Our next race was against USA 1 which we lost. Then our our next race was against Bermuda 1. It was a go big or go home situation. But we lost so that was the end of our team acing for the North Americans. At the end USA 2 won the team racing.



Rest Day.
For our rest day we went to a beach that belongs to the hotel. It was really cool. We rented some snorkeling equipment and went snorkeling. We cool see all types of coral and fish. The bigest fish we saw was at least 3 feet! It was really cool and I hope we can do it again sometime!
