Started out at 3:30, NO WIND. Loafed around in light air for an hour and

SLAM, we got steady air and big puffs to follow. Just beautiful and the
boat
sails beautifully. We were in a pack of more than 20 boats, all sailing
back
towards the bridges from Execution Rock. Close hauled, Alien was faster
than
all, except for a J27 (I think) with orange sails! The wind held out
until
about 8:30 or so....
A great sail!!! We can't wait until tomorrow!

Orange sails? Good God! Do those people have no sense of fashion?
They weren't a bright neon orange, were they? I hope they were at
least a pale yellow-orange.

The sailcover is still on. And why is the backstay so tight?

Why have you got winches up near the mast? What are they for?
