Just after we in SHADES rounded mark #2 onto a close reach, the wind piped up dramatically to 20+ knots from the west. Unlike the lighter teams behind us, Roger and I were able to hold our boat down nicely and had the rare and exhilarating experience of planing the entire leg to #1, and most of the way to #3, even without a spinnaker. At #3, we bore away onto ...

... a dead spinnaker run towards the finish line, perhaps a quarter-mile away.
...

It was a fine ride but not as much fun as the two reaches had been!!
