A
considerably cooler day than Friday with forecast
highs barely over 60F. Here, Geoff Edwards (l)
and Pat Reardon enjoy an early morning coffee while
Ellen Hill records the events. Shortly thereafter, we
had to get out for race 4 at 0900 hrs. so that our RC
could be back ashore after that race to give the
Flying Scots their Skippers' Meeting. Unfortunately,
Kim Bergevin was co-opted into a shopping trip with
Mary Seraphinoff on this day and we ended up getting
no sailing pictures.

| By 1045 hrs, we
were all back ashore for lunch after race in 6 to 12
knots of breeze and increasing overcast. Al Schonborn and Nick Seraphinoff again placed 1-2 in the race with Peter Hylen and Dave Hepting of LESC scoring an impressive 3rd. ... |

| As lunch time
approaches, the first of about 20 Flying Scots have been
launched. ... |
