Day three of the nationals brought some more consistent winds. We completed both races very quickly in the morning which was a nice change. I had my best day yet and finished with a 2nd and a 1st. We have a day off tomorrow before the last half of the regatta. 

Day two of the nationals brought similar conditions to yesterday just a little bit lighter. I could quite pick it in the first race and finished in 5th but the second was much better and I managed to grab a first. I am in sharing first position with Colin Cheng from Singapore but there is plenty of racing left. 

Sorry for any inconvineance but my post for today is on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/MattWearnSailing/posts/438881556212838

Today we had the invitation race in a very strange northerly. We started the race in 15 knots but by the time we got to the top mark there was on 2 knots. The wind kept shifting left throughout the race before it kicked in at 40knots from the south. Unfortunately the races were abandoned so no one won the $400 in any class. First day of racing tomorrow so hopefully we will get a consistent breeze. 

I have had a great few days in McCrae training in a variety of conditions before the Australian national championships start on the 28th. Tomorrow is the invitation race where you can pick up $400 for first. Looking forward to a great regatta. 

Today was the medal race, I didn't sail well at all and only managed an 8th. Fortunately I still managed to finish 3rd overall. After the way my regatta started I am happy that I managed to pull that out of the event. I will have a bit of time off now and will sail a few different classes to learn a few things before heading back to Melbourne for the nationals at the end of the month. 

Day one of Sail Melbourne was not the way I had it planned. Started the day with forgetting my sail so was half an hour late to the club and it was one big rush from there. Took a bit to get used to starting with such a small fleet again so the starts weren't ideal and I didn't sail my best in the first race to end up with an 8th. The second race was a little better and finished up with a 4th. Another day tomorrow an another chance to pick up my game.
