39th after Day 1 at Bacardi Cup

We finished how I expected slightly better than mid-fleet. I have not sailed the boat since December and I am sailing with a new crew for the first time. We didn't even have a chance to sail last week so this was the first time sailing at all together. Many teams are making the hard push for the 2012 Olympics, putting in many days on the water and improving there equipment. We can do much better and I think we can work our way into the top 30 over the next couple days. The trimming and driving need to improve first and then everything will get easier. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week and 5 more races on Biscayne Bay.
