Gents, We enjoyed a day of 'trading paint' with John E., I don't think we were ever more than a couple boatlengths apart but Recovery edged us by a few seconds at the line, which puts them way ahead on handicap. Our finish time was 14:07:14. Congrats John, glad to have you back! Steve -- good call on the short course -- the wind completely died about 1/2 way back to Leeward and we ended up motoring. Would have been a nerve racking drifter if we had done the full course. -Mark
