Great day! Started off with severe rain squals and winds picking up to almost 50 kts, but the course what still not good enough (tide not at right level yet). After an hour or do it became faster and soon after the wind switched to west and that made thi water come running in really fast. First run was 81+ top speed, so I thought this would be a really fast day. It turned out the windchange ruined everything. Sailing square except for 1 run.  But the trip was worth it. Sailing back against the upcoming tide in 400 kts of wind with 8 guys on board is like half and hour of people throwing buckets full of water straight in hour face for over half an hour non stop! Great fun! Better conditions next time as we still haven't really beaten The Brace so far...
