Looking at strong westerlies today. If the wind gets lighter and we end up racing to F, I think the left side of the upwind course will pay off again. With the flood going until 2000 hours, there is also less risk going out to the left since the current will push boats to the right anyway.
Look for the right side of the line to be crowded as well since the current will be pushing boats towards that end of the line. Of course, it all depends on how the line is set.
15:15 update. Wind trending to the north now, so who knows what side will be favored. The venturi effect may help speeds stay strong. The current will give a push over the line making boats early, if the line goes across river.
