Day 2.

Today we raced out into the bay in the morning, the new spinnaker and Genoa doing a roaring trade, and amazingly held our own against the competition thanks to a huge wind shift in our favour coming up to the line. We must have finished somewhere around 15th overall.
In the afternoon we raced up the Auray river to Le Bono, where a huge village party was centred on the harbour. Irish music, food courtesy of the village, and a massive festive atmosphere. Although the winds were light Marcita sped up the river and took the huge tidal swirls that greet you at the top of each island as an invitation to do a little pirouette. Again not disgraceful, but we don't get the placings at the end of each day.
