Fun IOM Wednesday 

Wednesday, we had a thrilling IOM sailing session. Although I arrived late, it was immediately clear that we were in for an exciting time. Despite the strong winds, everyone was using their A rigs, so I followed suit.

The wind was consistent and steady, allowing us to sail 80 percent of the way to the top mark on a starboard tack. After rounding the mark, we reached across the course before flying downwind, trying to survive the powerful gusts. This challenging downwind leg added to the excitement as we maneuvered to maintain control.

The course featured a short reach followed by a brilliant beat with plenty of passing lanes, providing ample opportunities for tactical maneuvers and overtaking. After rounding the marks, we had a tactical leg to the finish, where many close duels unfolded. The intense competition made for an exhilarating experience.

Overall, it was a fantastic session filled with fun and excitement. I'm eagerly looking forward to Saturday afternoon for more great battles and memorable moments on the water.
