Being this close to the windward shore at LESC made life interesting. Jim McIntyre (1904) is about to try to
catch one of the puffs getting through the trees to make some gains on Geoff Edwards (9483).
...

Robert Hart must have a real puff since he doesn't have to hold his boom out despite the windward heel.

Candi Robb and Jim McIntyre float along with their weight nicely forward - as it should be in this light stuff!

I believe this was the first guys to reach the windward mark - well behind first-place Gale Shoemaker.
