The breeze is just about to ...
...
... reach the boats off Lighthouse Point.   - click here for full-size pic
...
Josh and Dick slip along nicely in ...
...
... Blue Mist, having ...
...
... reached their little breeze.
...

Meanwhile, Andrew (9657) and Tony (4105) hold starboard along the Cousin Island shore, where ...
...

... Julia has just tacked.
...

Andy and David have all their flags a-flyin' as they ...
...

... head towards the Rose Island shore,  where ...
...

... Dave and Carol are about to ...
...

... tack to port.
...

Loons off ...
...

... the starboard bow.
...

In perfect trim as they sail into an ever healthier breeze are Andrew and Lori, as well as ...
...

... Dave and Tony (each with just the right degree of ...
...

... jib luff sag!)
...

Our first wait stop, off Davy Island, finds ...
...

... Tony and Mary taking it easy, as are ...
...

... Lori and Andrew.
...

Minutes later, we're ...
...

... underway once more.
...

The wind has now picked up enough to let us sit on the high side, or even ...
...

... sit out (as they say in England).
...

The clouds are pretty well all gone and we have perfect sailing weather as we exit the Sound.   - click here for full-size pic
