We had a sunny day with challenging westerly winds at 16 - 18 MPH with gusts to 25.  Five Lightnings came out along with a handful of Albacores and a Bucc.  The Bucc capsized in a death roll by sailing dead downwind and catching a shift by the lee.  Pat took water over the side on a tack in a gust.  On the way out of the channel we observed a Flying Scot capsized in front of the Power Plant.
