Did anyone do the top of the gulf regatta? I heard that the wind was fluky and a poor showing.

The regatta is a four day event. Friday, the wind was very light, though two hours in from 1300 hours, it blew up to ten knots. Saturday it was 20 plus knots all day and great sailing. Sunday was a solid 8-12 knots. Monday was up to 12 knots and good sailing conditions.
Cheers,
