We arrived early for the staggered start race and placed our anchor off the bow. Something went wrong, and we had trouble getting it up, costing us time. Meanwhile, other boats started before the prescribed time and soon passed us. In the end, Mystery won for the first time since the 1970s, Billie P. Hall came in 2nd and Island Blossom 3rd.
Persistence won, Island Bird placed 2nd, and Mystery 3rd in morning race. In a delayed afternoon race, Blossom won, Jay Dee 2nd, Persistence 3rd, and Bird 9th.

In the morning race, Bird placed 6th of 9. Magic capsized, Cloud did not start, and Edmee S. withdrew. I did not go out in the afternoon so I could prepare for CBMM's Boating Party, so Nicholas took my place on jib. Just before the Boating Party, we took a group out on Patriot.

Rowed at sunrise. We were surprised to find goose hunters in a boat just off our launch, taking advantage of the first day of resident goose season. Turned to boat work in the afternoon, applying a coat of varnish to Esperanza's brightwork on deck, cleaning out the boat barn, and raising Clair de Lune on jack stands for some work on the centerboard trunk.
