We also pushed the Warning back to 1300 so the afternoon wind has a chance to kick in.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It will be Windward/Leeward around temporary buoys with a "gate" at the leeward end of the course. I expect them to set a course about a mile between the Windward/Leeward marks.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The South Bay - SF Side ODCA Race hosted by the BVBC comes after the July break.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It's a long trip from Sausalito, so we won't be making any stops on the way back. As sit is, I figure we'll get back to Schoonmaker around 1800 or even later. I want to cross the Bay before the Ebb kicks in if possible.
