The Challenge:  Stay together for the Arduous Course around Henry Island, with a lunch break at Posey Island and another kind of break at British Camp.

The course shown was sailed in a clockwise direction, with the flood tide in the morning and the ebb tide in the afternoon.  The wind was mostly from the South.

   

 

 
The RegattaA wonderful day on the water, filled with good humor, good seamanship, good winds, and good fellowship.  We stayed close together most of the time; if a boat pulled ahead, it moved to the back.
