Gran Canaria has finished

The wind got lighter for a day so I took out my 6.4 and I sailed very well. In the race 10 it finally came what I was waiting for so long. I had a quite a good start and made an amazing first jibe from which one I came out in 3rd. This time I told myself to not lose a chance again so I sailed all the jibes fully aggressively just behind Dunckerberck all the way till the finish line and I made it the first time to the semifinal in Pozo. In the semi I missed the first jibe so I went to the losers final where I had a brilliant start as I cross the start line as first and came to the first mark in 3rd, but ESP 12 pushed me in to a wide jibe and I came out like 7th. I was fighting till the end to get on the 6, but did not make it. So I finished 17th in that race. Till the end of the competition I was very close to qualify again but did not make it although I was sailing much better than the first days. A consistent sailing paid me off and I was gaining places to climb to the final 27th place.
I am quite satisfied with the result when I think how I started the even. I repeated my last years result and considering there were more better guys registered this year I am quite happy about it.
In couple of days we start the next big event in Fuerteventura so till then I need to relax and rest my body.
