the Mississauga SC Wayfarer/CL16 Regatta race 1.1 by Gord Leachman ........

Seconds after the race 1 start, the winds died and then little breaths began to arrive from variety of directions. Race Officer, Gord Leachman, decided not to abandon and we more or less rose to the challenge. ........

A minute after the gun, Al and Sue drift across the start line with Nick and Joe in W10862. The line was about half-way up the first "beat" and we were to sail two windward-leeward sausages. ........

Even Al's vision in pink was outdone by the interesting sky. ........

The taylors are back to close-hauled. ........

Not much progress being made. ........

Scott Ramsay and Jan d'Ailly from Conestoga have found a little puff. ........

(l to r) Sue Pilling, Uncle Al, Colin and Heather Junkin ........

(l to r) Mark Taylor, Mike Duncan, Rob Wierdsma and Peter Rahn have the early edge. ........
