Europeans-Day 2

Day 2
The wind today started out at about 8-10 knots, and built slowly throughout the day to finish with gusts up to 18 knots. The swell was similar to yesterdays, which made for some enjoyable downwinds.

Overall, I had an average day(4,7). I made quite a few tactical mistakes in both races, which cost me several points. However, I was lucky to have a bit of a speed edge downwind and reaching, which really saved me today. I always have mixed feelings about days like today as, on one hand, I kept myself in contention, but on the other, I know that I could have easily had two top 3's again. Racing continues tomorrow, and the rumor is for lighter wind tomorrow.
