July 18, 2007: We had a good start. On the start line, the boat end was favoured but we started near the pin and in clear air. Jack Rabbit had a poor start behind lots of boats. The wind quickly died and we had to struggle to get around the windward mark. We were second boat; Polaris (not in our fleet was first). As we drifted, Dragonlady took up station near the windward mark. Shorten course? Finish? No. What a disappointment! We headed back looking for wind; but there was none. As lead boat I was reluctant to bail but by 21:30 and no wind we withdrew. No one in our start finished.
