Sunday: Race 4
by Peggy Quiniff and Neil Robb

Jeff and Alex Clark have their Interlake nicely balanced as they head east towards #3.
Note the wind funnelling along the north shore to leeward!

Aimee Barcus adds the pole and she and Alan Freeland get set to blast past ...
...

... Jeff Clark who wonders about weeds but most likely just has less wind.
...

Now they both have lots of wind and the close battle continues.

Jack Coleman sits well aft in hopes of planing.
...

Jim and Tim flash past in a blur.
...

Despite a relatively healthy lead in the Rebel fleet, Dan Hockenberry and Uncle Al wonder if they should sit further aft like ...
...

... Dave Nickels and Emilia Oslund who are closing the gap fast with a series of ...
...

... planes.
...

Of course, Dan and Al outweigh Dave and Emilia by a good 200 pounds, and will lose Dave before they reach mark 3. After this, Dave will cover flawlessly to the finish line and take his fourth straight well deserved win.
