We sailed up to the race course in a light southerly with more than a few no-wind holes and ran the first race, a W-2,  with the windward mark to the south and the leeward mark to the north, and started the second race, also a W-2, that way.  However, before the first windward leg of the second race got very far, the wind shifted to a northerly direction and the chutes went up.  The winds picked up after that, and the second race finished in good time, with a downwind finish, confusing a couple of boats that sailed outside the finish line headed for the (now leeward) mark.  PRO Jim Graham re-set the course for the third race to reflect the then-westerly gusty up-and-down conditions, and  sent boats home after completion of the third race.

Tom Ballantine was on the race course with his Hampton One Design and Jeff Neurauter in his Bucc as well.
