Instead, your Uncle Al "borrowed" these lovely racing shots from Denise Tontarski via the RHYC web site.
Above, Nick Place and Jon Wasserman approach the gybe mark during a lull in their 5-0-5.
...

Already, Bill Bagwill has learned how to remove the pole gently so that Uncle Al can keep the spinnaker pulling as long as possible as the SHADES team approach the gybe mark where the spi will come down since the third leg of the triangle was always a short, fairly close-winded reach.
...

Nick and Julie approach the gybe mark in fine form.
...

One of the Highlanders chomps along on a close reach.
...

And a fine day it was for John Macielag and his crew in ...
...

... their International ...
...

... 14!...

The A Cats were enjoying a fast day, too.
...

Bill and Al also moving (relatively) fast!
...

Nick and Julie have the inside track as they prepare to start their second beat. Frank (r), meanwhile,
may or may not end up with room at the mark on the Highlander.
...

Nick and Julie in good upwind form.

Mike Schmidt works hard to ...
...

... stay ahead of his nearest rival, Bob Tan.
...

After a tough day's racing and a great buffet dinner, it was time to chat. Joining Nick, Julie and Frank above are Brian DeBrincat (Julie and Brian grew up together in W's) and Anastasia Hopkinson who bought Lee Hughes' Wanderer after the latter's epic journey up the US East Coast in 2003.
...

Note the more than ample room for campers on the club grounds.

Sue Pedersen's son, Dan, and his wife ...

... Kim.

Nick regales Sarah with another of his marvellous stories.

Uncle Al tries to look like he's thinking.
