The wind is picking up a bit
as we proceed up the second beat. |
|
|
|
And again, as we near the
windward mark, it will pay to factor the oncoming
Scot spinnakers into the strategic equation. |
|
|
|
Mike
Murto (2959) has some decisions to make here.
Although Mike is close-hauled on starboard and will
have right of way over any of these boats he may
converge with (starboard over port, leeward over
windward), Mike still wants to avoid any close
encounters that would be sure to affect his wind and
speed. ... |
|
|
|
Likewise Joe DeBrincat
(second from right) |
|
|
|
Looks like both Mike and Joe
will thread their way through OK here. |
|
|
|
Uncle Al (3854) has continued
to open his lead and is now in perfect trim as he
challenges a couple of Scots. |
|
|
|
Peter (93) remains a solid
second but the battle for third remains very close
with Gale (3rd from left) |
|
|
|
Almost a horizon job for Marc
and Al (red spi) as they ... |
|
|
|
... get better acquainted
with ... |
|
|
|
... a few more Scots. |
|
|
|
These two pass the closed
start-finish line to the left. |
|
|
|
All alone in second spot,
Peter and Frank (l) are beautifully
balanced. |
|
|
|
Nick and Joe have made a big
move up the second beat and now lie 3rd. |
|
|
|
Gale (4106) and Jim (2136)
are neck and neck for the Non-Spinnaker lead and 4th
overall while Richard wisely ... |
|
|
|
... gybes away to maintain
... |
|
|
|
... clear air. |
|
|
|
Dave (2945) tries to pass to
leeward of Robert while ... |
|
|
|
... Mo (10245) waits for a
puff. |
|
|
|
Robert keeps a wary eye on
... |
|
|
|
... the RC boat. |
