0900: Catching up today with 2 days worth of racing now posted. It turns out that Jay Renehan is not sailing, but Andy Mack is. So we have 3 PNW sailors to follow. Dan Falk and Keith Hammer are sailing the 7m class and Andy Mack in the 6m class. Here are the standings after 2 days:
7m Class (40 boats)
Dan Falk: (17.0), 9.0, 8.0, 3.0, 1.0, 3.0, 3.0 = 27 (4th place)
Keith Hammer: (41.0), 5.0, 3.0, 7.0, 6.0, 8.0, 8.0 = 37 (6th place)
It looks like our guys are figuring it out and steadily raising their game.

Andy Mack: (20.0), 1.0, 3.0, 17.0, 10.0, 6.0 = 37 (7th place)
