A First to Finish for Orizaba

A solid Oregon Offshore performance for Orizaba. Passed Navitae Juvenis ~7pm just before race rocks, they weren't carrying any spinnakers in 20-27 knots, and we were powered up. Turns out it was Time Bandit (J120) behind us, not Riva, and bringing new wind they were close enough to correct out over us, so looks like a 2nd place overall. Riva had a good run as well, but far enough beyond to not correct over us. Finished at 8:55pm, in time for a nice (late) dinner in time, and then to bed. Day of boat clean-up and fixes, should have us ready for Swiftsure in a couple weeks. Some pictures from the run, including one of us coming up into Race Rocks.










Orizaba out.
