THE START

The sun was blazing hot,
and the ocean blossomed
with more than 90 sets of
sails. The wind, which was
moderate in the early
morning, died away to
nothing a few minutes be-
fore the start and most boats
crossed the start line at
Dundarave with a lot of help
from the ebb and much
laughter and shouting.

The light easterly breeze
switched around to westerly
and increased to eight to 10
knots during the first leg to
Pt. Atkinson as many boats
made a long tack out to
mid-channel to take advan-

there.

ter wind here, and the leg
from the bell buoy to a mark
.07 miles south of the mid
channel marker was
generally a wing-on-wing
run. ™

There was much traffic
and several other races were
run that day, which made
for a Jot of sails on the outer
Harbor.

In the race for prizes,
competition was as heavy for
Best Dressed Boat and Best
Bribe Attempt as it was for
First to Finish and the sights
to be seen during the race
were as imaginative as the
prize categories.

Some boats came rigged
with multicolored balloons,
many were decorated, and
one even sported an effigy of
a sailor hung from. the
