their
spinnaker ... ... |

| ... briefly. ... |
 |
| Is it going to be
a
chucker? (windward hoist, spi thrown forward as helm
hoists) ... |
 |
| There we go. Now
that
wasn't so bad, ... ... |
 |
| ... was it? But
by
now, Al and Frank (red spi) are well ahead. They are
playing it safe
and dousing the spinnaker before their gybe and their
quick port spring
over to the mark. ... |
 |
| As they pass the
start-finish line, Roger and Joanne hold a precarious
3rd over Nick and
Joe. ... |
 |
| Fine form for the
Rog! ... |
 |
| A happy Frank and
Al
have overlaid the line but can afford to, since ... ... |
 |
| ... they are a solid first. ... |
 |
| Frank (r)
and
Al smell beer!! ... |
 |
| As do Scott and
Brian
in 2nd place. ... |
 |

line. ... |
 |
| Nick and Joe
(hiking)
get the nod, just ahead of ... ... |
 |
| ... Roger and
Joanne. ... |
 |
| Mike and Sean
complete
an exciting day of racing. |
