CRA Beer Cans #1

We did a nice beer can race last night. Christine Pai joined us for the first time. Christine is a dinghy sailor at UCSD, and fit right in with the crew. Other crew included Warren Gross, Adam Storey, Theresa Roland, and me. We did some swapping of positions, and had a great time overall. We were a little bound up at the start due to a J-105 holding us up, but once we got clear we were doing okay. We should have played the east side of the bay on the downwind, and we let the J-109s stay in touch. One of them decided to go shrimping at the leeward mark, but we were unable to shake Geronimo, and our flier to try to gain some time didn't pay. I think we probably corrected out in 3rd or 4th if my calculations are correct. Results should be posted soon and I will include a link. Congrats to John Downing on the other melges that got a clean start and dusted the fleet.
