Sunday ashore - 1
photos mostly by Uncle Al, Andrew Haill, Andy Douma

Sunday again dawned sunny but cool and windless.
...

An early launch failed to nudge the winds into wakefulness.

Looking east towards the climbing sun.

Andrew Haill is eager to start the day's racing. After all, he and Frank have Al and Nick's one-point lead to erase!!
...

Looking towards the train tracks: an absence of train that we would would long for soon enough!!

The Wayfarer Beach: Waiting for the wind
...

It's still a bit cool in the shade.
...

"How late can they start a race?" is the question being researched as the wind continues to hold its breath.

Uncle Al and Peter (r) join the discussion. Peter and Alex were hoping to leave early today - right after the racing is done.

Daddy Dave Moring paces the windless dock with daughters, Ava and Grace.
...

It's an ill wind that blows no one good: In this calm, the girls get to spend more time with dad!!
...

Well, I can think of worse places in which to do my thumb twiddling!!
...

A bit of a forced smile for Peter and Alex, and for ...
...

... LESC Commodore, Dave Hepting, as all three stare at the windless wastes.
...

It's even worse for the MC's who only have one race completed so far.
...

I believe that's photographer par excellence, Randall Moring, in the blue jacket.

Ava Moring explains it all to her mom, Patti.
