On Sunday I had a great time racing on Astra doing bow at the CYC Season Closer which had a pursuit race (we started last being the fastest) and a course which allowed you to go either way around the course. First mark was Little harding then alcatraz, angel and little harding then back to finish at CYC. Lots of jib changes from the light to the medium and finally heavy and two spinnaker runs. We needed 1/4 mile more and we would have got first as it was we had to settle with the 3rd place. It really was a beautiful day on the bay. The crew on saturday had the pleasure of watching Maltese Falcon enter the bay clearing the Golden Gate by only 20 feet.
