Once the long windward-leeward course was set (made more challenging by lack of radio communication between the mark boat and the line boat) we got off five W-2 races in quick succession in chilly winds.  Gusts to 25 kept spinnakers in the boats for the first two races, but then they came out -- Pat was the first one to fly a chute, but before long all had their chutes up heading downwind.  We welcomed new crew Jennifer Bergeron who sailed with Red.  Congratulations to Nabeel who walked away with 5 bullets.
