I just came back from the Silver Lake State Park sand dunes after driving up the tallest one with my dune scooter. Great view of about 40 leaders of the huge fleet close to shore at Little Point Sauble as the fog burned off. Two turbo 90s were in sight under Big Point Sauble trying to pinch by sailing at 0 degrees (North) and 8-9 knots speed, wind light NWN(?). The first 52 sled was just offshore 20 miles back and slow- little wind just yet...These guys are all gonna be tacking a lot today.
In Multis, Nice Pair leads in this fleet 20 miles back & invisible offshore, while Meade & Jan Gougeon (Adagio tri) are lying 6th maybe 10 more miles back (invisible).

My pix show tiny black or white spots. No reaching today. ;(

It appears that GAMERA may well have finished before both the Assets and the Monkee... go Matt and the Z!

Meade and Jan Gougeon (known as Eldercrew) somehow squeaked their way from 6th to apparently tie for second on time with a 44 footer, about 12 hours after behind the 60 foot tri Earth Voyager.
