Portland Race 3 Series 2

More rain and less wind! But an increasing breeze through the evening, albeit in fading light, made for a pleasant sail around the harbour, while spotting the buoys became trickier as at times near darkness seemed to fall. We managed to be last around the first mark, despite running the start – nice starts by the other two in a reduced fleet due to holidays and cruises.
