RC44s: Paul Cayard on not such a good day for Ceeref

The Lake of Traunsee was not too kind to us today. Four very mediocre finishes pushed us down to 6th overall. The team from Holland in No Way Back, won the event. Artemis and Aqua followed.
The sun actually came out for the day which made things a lot more pleasant. There was plenty of snow around in the hills after all the rain of the last two days.
There wasn't much wind up at the Gmunden end of the lake so after the first race, things were moved completely down to the other end, about 10K from Gmunden.
This is a beautiful place especially when the sun is out. Idyllic really. Nice weekend homes for the people of Linz and Salzberg.
The RC 44 is a great boat and I hope to do some more sailing in the class.
I am back to San Francisco tomorrow and training on Flash next weekend for Trans-Pac with Danny and Allie and the rest of the Flash team.
