the wind was 15 gusting 21 knts when i arrived at the club and the waves were building in the bay, the forecast was the wind was going to drop according to windguru . i decided not to race and rich miller imediatly asked did i want to crew for him or he wouldnt be sailing either, so as for pratice crewing for the worlds i said yes ok, but bear in mind i hadnt crewed for ages. we set off and got some trapeze pratice in, it went ok so i was happy for the race. we got a good start and rounded in 3rd place martin overtook us upwind as he was pointing higher than us, we got in front when rich decided to go different on the downwind leg, it paid off on the first attempt and finally paid offf nicely on the last lap when we took over 500 metres out of martin to finally take 3rd from 5
greg and mike 5th
overall i was very pleased and i hope i didnt mess richard up too much.
i hope to be able to crew for him again and learn a few more things from him.
