The verve of Sunday’s return leg was
tempered by lower, but adequate winds blowing directly on the nose for
returning teams. Team Tybee, the first team to return to Pineda,
sailed more than 4 hr, longer than even the slowest team’s trip down the
previous day. Although Chuck Harndon and Paul Allum were not the final boat
to finish, they were far behind the other Blades. Their jib
sail blew out and they forgot to pack a spare. . . Because they blew
out their jib, they earned a belated but coveted place among the elite
who blew out spinnakers on Saturday. The latest return, Jim McEwan, on
a Hobie 16, was on the water for over 7 hr. Jim was beat, but clearly
enjoyed the day on the water. He also enjoyed a beer as soon as he hit
the beach in Pineda. Everyone else enjoyed dinner, which was waiting
for Jim to make shore before serving began.
