From the start boat, it was quite a spectacle to watch the rest of the fleet on AIS, jockeying for position and timing their runs to perfection (mostly) as the countdown approached. The breeze filled nicely, reaching 18kts in the latter part of the return leg, providing a following wind that made for a fast and enjoyable sail back to the finish. In the end, all competitors crossed the line well within the 1600-hour cut-off, rounding out a rewarding afternoon on the bay.
