Andrew doesn't look overly happy with his luck on the right side of the course as ... ...

... he and dad approach the ... ...

... windward mark in 5th place after lying 2nd to Al for much of the leg. ...

The good news is that they're not far back of 3rd and 4th. Now Phil, after having always helmed W3642, will get to see how the other half lives!! ...

Wisely, they take it ... ...

... slow and easy. Other boats: (l to r) Dave, Al, Bill, Brian ...

Jason (3140) is about to round 6th as Alan (r) and Jamie are starting to tack towards ... ...

... the starboard lay line. Meanwhile, Jason and ... ...

... Lori are all set for a speedy hoist. ...

My mistake: Alan and Tim did not tack but are in fact shooting the mark ... ...

... very nicely in a big starboard tack lift! ...

We were a pretty group. ...

Oops! Looks like Jason has hit a dead spot, or he hasn't noticed that the wind has shifted aft to make the course to the gybe mark nearly a run. ...

Jamie (l)  tacks for the mark just ahead of Robin. ...

Both are now getting that ... ...

... big ... ...

... lift on starboard. Jamie (4594) was slow coming out of his tack, which has allowed Robin and Carolyn (6071) to ... ...

... get through to leeward. ...

But perhaps not for long, since the ... ...

... "white sails only" Robin ... ...

... should have a tough time holding off Jamie and Ben who ... ...

... are ... ...

... quite good with their spinnaker. ...

What a lovely sight we were!
