02-11-2009 Epidavros - Poros

Wind : 0-1 BF
Weather : Mostly sunny 15 C

First racing day, unfortunately nearly no wind. The start with 45 yachts was spectaclurar.
It was rather a day of floating around than sailing.
At 1700h at least half of the fleet didn't get to the finish in time. So no points for today.
We had to motor to Poros in the dark, under a full moon.
Hopefully we have better wind tommorow.
