Here's a GPS track of the 1000m course on the Grand River in Grand Rapids, MI. After the regatta almost got rained out (the forecast called for thunderstorms getting worse throughout the day), it cleared up after a bit of rain and was sunny by noon. The course is nicely protected, so even with a good breeze the water was very nice.
Steering is clearly still an area of improvement. In the 1x race, I finished second (of six) on the water which was enough for third place with the handicap. My mixed 2x finished third (of six) on the water (by 2 seconds) and fourth with the handicap. Another boat form Detroit beat us by 0.5 seconds thanks to a 15 second handicap. Oh well :)
