So cool to see all the spectator boats out enjoying the great racing. Ps. We are in sequence.. guessing this is our last race.

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

This is why we invited the Melges 24 Worlds to Victoria. Great pressure, blue sky, wind, mountains.. queue the orcas. @Melges_24 #melges24 #yyj

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

Wind increasing further 17knots + Setting up for the last race now. Wow that was a spectacular last race.

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

Battle for the lead up wind between Altea slightly to leeward and bow out on MiKEY. Last up wind leg. Wind 15knots with puffs above. Fleet mostly sailing up the right side probably trying to avoid the flood tide.

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

Lead boats MiKIE and Altea downwind. Everyone close and on plain into the weather mark.

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

Ripping downwind.

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

We are all racers aboard the photo boat 2. And we are stoked on these conditions!

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

RC orange flag hoisted. Delay due to logs in the starting area. Great pressure 15knots This is a sailing powder day!

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

Setting up for another race.

[melges24worlds2018 @m24worlds2018]

Wind building, currently 12knots with puffs above. Turning into a blue bird day of Melges 24 racing.
