Well, it was that sort of morning - when the clock and the tide said "hurry, hurry" and the wind said "jeez, I'm just waking up, gimme a break, will ya!".
So we waited. Some of us even set anchor to wait. The younger ones could be heard across the bay singing camp songs, too. |

waiting for wind
|
Some wait more colorfully than
others...

|
Finally the tiniest bit of wind appeared and a course was set and we were able to drift with purpose. | ||

Another set of Clapps!

Start 1 was pretty staggered
|
Kanos leading at the offset
mark
|
many converged on the leeward
mark at once
|
By the second race actual puffs were appearing from time to time and revealing who the skillful sailors were. |
By race 3 Kathy Fallon was warming up to Boysey and
Lulu's position.
|
|
|
Start 2 was even more staggered
|
|
Start 3 was the most untidy of all |
Fallons ahead of Lulu
|
But Boysey crossed first anyway |
