COURSE: Around Waldron

WEATHER: Northerly 0-10 knots. Long periods of no wind. The wind direction was widely variable. The current was mainly an ebb but it wasn't strong. All the boats went counter clockwise in the Northerly. Once around to the west side the wind had pretty much died. Those who sailed close to the southern shore of Waldron did well. Chinook played it the best taking the underbelly of Waldron all the way to the SE corner where the wind and current turned favorable.
