| Good as things look for Marc and
Julie here, Al decides to let Joanne (and SHADES!) get settled away for a bit
on starboard. ... |
|
| The fact that our main
competition for the Carling Trophy
is just now rounding the mark also takes some of the pressure off. ... |
 |
| Now Mike (l) has gybed back, and ... ... |
 |
| ... so has Marc (3rd from left). Al (mostly hidden by Kirk, 421) seems
to be doing quite nicely by having remained on starboard. And I stand corrected, Leo (9667) is not bringing up the rear. That honour belongs to ... ... |
 |
| ... Ben and Andrew who, I
suspect, were late to the start? ... |
 |
| Fine spinnaker work from Joanne
who turns out to be a quick study aboard 3854 which is religiously
glued to the rhumb line. ... |
 |
| And so, we all continue to
meander across Lake Conestoga on a lovely Sunday morning. - click here for full-size pic ... |

| Somewhere, not far away, there
will be the sound of horses' hooves as gussied-up Mennonites go to
church in their buggies. - click here for full-size pic ... |

| But not here. Our church is the
great outdoors that the Lord has so wonderfully provided us with. ... |

The SHADES spinny (red) comes down good
and early. Al already
realizes, that it'll be on the wrong side for the next hoist, but that
will be a lesser evil than Al's other plan which was
to gybe near the mark and then have Joanne take the spi down on the
port side. Too much risk of the new crew getting into difficulties in a
spot where rounding with the lead will pay huge dividends, and the
thought of screwing up this great opportunity does not even
bear thinking about!!
