First aid by Mary
Vorel! Puncture wounds in Uncle Al's arm suddenly appeared right after
we rounded the first windward mark of the race before lunch. I have no

everything. Poor Meghan! Hope she doesn't mind the sight of blood.
Regardless, she continued doing stalwart crew work, just like she did
all week! Anyway, after the race, I was on my way to the beer tap when

The afternoon's racing seriously tested Mary's handiwork but it was up
to the strenuous task. Thanks a lot, Mary!! ........ |

After due deliberation, a
decision was reached and explained. My congratulations to the parties who were models of good sportsmanship and honesty! Thanks, John and Bob. |
