We had an unusual result in the 3rd race at GYC last race day. I think this is what happened:

Tim went through the gate first and headed out to the "Sargasso Sea", Seth/Todd were next and headed in to the North shore, Robi and Terry came through close together (can't remember who was ahead) and followed Tim [who was so far ahead they probably didn't see him] finally I made it through and started after Terry and Robi. I definitely had no idea where Tim was. I avoid the "Sargasso Sea", nothing good ever happens when I go over there. So, I tacked over to the middle of the course, and low and behold there is much better pressure and slightly better angle. The result was that I picked off everyone except Tim and Jennifer!

I still am having a hard time acccepting that there is this much wind advantage in such a small bay! The section of the bay we are using is about 1.3 x 0.9 miles.
