There was a light to medium sea breeze this morning from the southwest, which steadily picked up with gusts up to 18 knots at the peak of the winds, but it lightened up to around 8 to 10 knots later on, which made for great team racing conditions. The holiday weekend boat traffic caused some challenging chop for the competitors and racing late into the evening made for a long and tiring day.
