Perhaps halfway to J5: Dave and Carol have pulled away from Dave and Kim
who will soon split tacks with us and angle back towards the shore.
...

When they come back out to join us, Dave and Kim (l) are much ...
...

... closer, having found a couple of nice shifts to play nearer the shore.
...


Lori and Andrew approach J5.
...

The run from J5 to the Main Channel: It has become a four-boat race as Dave H. (282) and Dave R. (4782)
have been joined in their close pursuit of Uncle Al by ...
...

... Ross and John who have done some fine shift-playing along the shore themselves.
...

Now, lads! It's about your spinnaker shape. You need a new one, or at least a less ancient and deformed one.
...


John and Dolores have serious ground (water?) to make up as they have just rounded J5.
...


One of Kim's first spinnaker gybes goes ...
...

... quite well!!
...

Ross and John have opted to stick with the south shore that was so good to them coming up to J5.
...

Dave and Carol also sailed somewhat high of the rhumb line, while ...
...

... Julia and I stuck to the lower, rhumb line course, always keeping a nervous eye out lest the guys further inshore get better breeze.
...

Now they have gybed to come back out.
