Wednesday brought building breeze and a full fleet of seven boats — including the season debut of Minx, welcome back. Race 1 went off in the kind of conditions that keep everyone honest, and it was Hi Toots! who made the most of it, taking the bullet.

By the time Race 2 rolled around, the wind had climbed to around 20 mph. Three boats made the call for prudence and sat it out. That left four boats on the line for what turned into a spirited race, with Tight Squeeze coming out on top.
