Here is another story from Jill Nickerson, Suncoast Sailing Team. I tried to put a photo with it, but I can't figure out how to do it. The day 2 story and photo are in a prior post "Tornado Nationals and photo"

And on the third day, there was light! Finally the weather decided to
cooperate and give us a perfect day for racing, our only regret is that
we could only sail 3 races. It was a day that you could have gone on and
on with the racing conditions the way they were other than being just a
bit chilly.


The winds started about 8 knots and built to about 12 knots by the end of
the day bring with the increase large swells. We had 3 back to back
races and were able to retire from the water at about 3PM.


No real crash and burn stories for you today. Everything for the fleet
when pretty normal and we all breathed a sigh of relief.


You can sign on to www.sailhoneymoon.com for more details but currently,
after 7 races, the top part of the standings are as follows:


NED 4
NED 1
USA802
GBR111
AUT3
AUT1
USA808
USA804


We look forward to the final day of racing and 3 races.
