PRO, Dave Hansman, calls us to the skippers' meeting.

Anne Black is nicely accessorized for the day with a Hans Gottschling purse, available at none of even your best stores.
...

And Fred McNutt put in a cameo appearance to tell us that lunch would waiting at their place down the lake.
...

Dave addresses the assembled multitudes.

"We stand on guard"????
...

Skippers' Meeting completed, we get ...
...

... the boats all set for a somewhat complex system of ...
...

... staggered, mostly lottery-allocated starts.
...

Lori and Tony have traded crews so that Lori (l) and Mary can be a "chick crew" today.
...

Pat Onions and Fred Black are all set.
...

Winners of the start lottery were Walter Koch and Tim Price who will find that ...
...

... the main won't go all the way up unless the mainsheet is freed.
...
There! That's better.
...

Erinn ...
...

... looks on before being ...
...

... joined by Julia who is also in no hurry since SHADES will start last, having won the Cruise Race.
...

Leg 1 took us across Delaney Bay where Ken Holloway would be waiting just off the SW shore
in his red canoe festooned with one of Mary's new flags.
...

Henry with Klaus and Jacob were one of the earlier ...
...
... starters. Photographers, Al (l) and Dave will be among the last to go,
and so have time to help people get off the dock.
...
Team Njord pushes off: Andrew and Michele.
...

Rudder still up in the shallows near the shore, the "chick boat" sets forth in ...
...
... pursuit of ...
...

... Andrew and Michele.   - click here for full-size pic
