 |
| Uncle Al (dark hull)
gets the best start - a touch too good, in fact, he'll be OCS (over
early). ... |

| Roger and Joanne find
just enough room to squeeze in between the RC boat and a leeward boat. ... |

hull) is moving out nicely, while Al (dark hull) moves past ... ... |
 |

Mills (nearest to camera) tacks for clear air. ... |
 |
| Start attempt #2 for
Peter Rahn. A lesson to be learned here: Peter and Alex took 2nd in
this race. So don't lose heart if you get a bad start - especially in a place that features voodoo winds. ... |

| The fleet gurgles off
the line in light winds. ... |
 |
| Actually, this may
have been race 1? ... |

 |
| Uncle Al and Marc (r)
have emerged from the fleet
that was closely bunched at the
leeward mark. As the leaders pass the start area, Al has a nice lead
over Mark (7673) and, more importantly, first-race winners, Peter and
Alex Rahn (l). ... |
 |
| John and Dolores
demonstrate perfect light-air upwind form ... ... |
 |
| ... but so do Marc and
Al off their bow. Mark (l) meanwhile, is pointing high but
going a bit slower. ... |
 |
| John tacks and will
search for happiness over on the right side but Al (l) won't
tack until Peter follows John. ... |
 |
| Good form for George
and Mike here, too. ... |
 |
| Near the port layline,
Uncle Al has his nearest race 1 rivals - Mark (7673) and Peter (286) - safely tucked away. |
