9 races make for tired crew

We had 2 fine days of racing at the PSSR regatta.  5 Races on Saturday, 4 on Sunday.  Most races were short, with two upwind legs and one downwind leg, or three upwind legs and 2 downwind legs.  We had lots of practice with sail hoists and drops, and didn't manage to make too many mistakes.  We bumped a mark, nearly hit the race leaders, and made a few other small blunders, but didn't break anything.  We didn't win any races but the crew (Graeme, Brandon, Brad, Scott, Shauna, Mike, and Dick) got a ton of practice, and by the end we were as close to a we are likely to get to a well oiled machine.  For photos, check out Borrowed Light images, and search either under Ishtar, or our sail number, 76993.
