Nap time for Lilly?

Roger and Rae have gybed to port, the tack on which they'll round the leeward mark.

Marc and Julie look perfect in Pub Crawl.

Al and Ken have Unplugged (7380) moving beautifully in a fine wind streak.

Dwight and Pat defended their 2nd nicely while Mike and Lilly started Lilly's racing career with a fine 3rd.
Right behind Mike and Lilly is the entire Open Fleet - a 5-0-5.

Over the course of the final three legs, the W fleet has become quite spread out. Above, Dwight (2nd from right) has just crossed in 2nd, while Mike (2nd from left) has quite a ways to go before he'll cross 3rd. On the far left, we have Ben and Andrew who were too late to sail race 1.   - click here for full-size pic

Mike and Lilly roll across in 3rd.

Marc and Julie (864) nip Al and Ken for 4th.

Alistair and John Martin, our RC, give the Open Fleet a shortened course (note Code Flag "S"), so that the whole Wayfarer fleet won't have to sit around while the five-oh sails two and a half more legs. No wonder we've always loved having John and Alistair as our RC these last 30 years!!!

Nipping in at the last second from the right, Roger and Raewyn (7700) beat the ...
