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.

After discovering a fuel leak on our boat, we drove up by land and received a dinghy ridge from Queenstown landing so that we could enjoy our planned dinner--just without our own boat rafted alongside.

Island Blossom won the morning race, followed by Persistence and Billie P. Hall. Bird placed 6th of 7 in the morning race. In the afternoon, Island Bird was the first to capsize; Mystery carried away her foremast and Jay Dee carried away the end of their bowsprit, tearing up the foresail in the process.
