Phang Nga Bay regatta is over. We think we are third for the week, not fantastic, but we did our best and in the end the conditions got us. Today’s long downwind race to Chalong was great sailing until just about the time the faster boats finished, then the wind died and we struggled on for two more hours in drifting conditions to finish fourth. No possibility to correct our time over them. Well, disappointing but that’s racing.

So now we head off to the party for the wrap up of a great regatta with our terrific crew and best friends.
