St. Pete YC Multiclass Regatta day 1

The breeze was gusty close to shore today but the Southwesterly dropped to between 5 and 8 knots by the time it reached the race course in Tampa Bay.
Still, the Contender and FD sailors put in an impressively long day with 4 multi-leg races. I survived the slow day in the dinghy by playing with our newest photo/sailing-geek toy- a GPS receiver for our cameras. Today's photos are our first ones tagged with coordinates. Is this a useless gimmick or will we rely on it one day?
