| John Hudak (4190) holds the
early lead over Bill Selick (4182) but series leaders, Mary Vorel
(4161) and Uncle Al (to leeward of Bill) are recovering nicely from their start line disasters. - click here for larger image ........ |
 |
| But at the windward mark it
is none other than Phil and Mindy Faulkner who are leading the pack! ........ |
 |
| Close behind are (l to r) John Hudak, Dave Nickels,
Bill Selick (4182) and Mary Vorel. ........ |
 |
| But first we have Alan Hilsinger and Jaden
rolling around in 2nd place. ........ |
 |
| Dave (4176) and Bill (4182) will
not be able to tack without tacking too close to Mary so that she will
... ........ |
 |
| ... round ahead of them. ........ |
 |
| Also still well in the hunt is Al (4191). ........ |
 |
 |
| Close behind Al are John Hudak (4190) and Jack
Sanderson (4193). ........ |
 |
| Al and Justin ........ |
 |
| Very, very odd winds here; all of us pointing as
high as we could!!! Al (2nd from
left) is pretty much forced to ... ........ |
 |
| ... tack away from Mary (4161), Dave (4176) and
Alan (4199). ........ |
 |
| Meanwhile, back at the windward mark ... ........ |
 |
| Jack and Erin find a brief slant from the SW. ........ |
 |
| Further ahead, Mary (r) and Dave deal with more
westerly winds. ........ |
 |
| Now their wind shifts to SW so that Alan (l) and Dave pretty much must tack. ........ |
 |
| Mary and Pat make fine progress into a SW puff. ........ |
 |
| Not so, poor Dave and Alan! |
