George- I went TI, Red Rock, then Blackhaller all to port. Just played the shifts and went for the greatest breeze off of Richmond on the way to Red Rock. Once north of Richmond I tended to get closer to the shore to stay clear of the current. The Moore 24 that took first overall and beat us banged hard into Richmond just as the breeze died for us on our way north, he made out but not by much. Tom
