See Philip Mumm's Day four pictures
Today's conditions were much lighter than the first three days but the racing was just as close. Robbie Daniels is still in command, stretching his overall lead to an amazing 29 points after 15 races with 21 points. Greg Goodall and John Williams look to have nailed down 2nd with 50 points and a 19 point lead over John Casey and Kenny Pierce in third. But only 10 points seperate that third from the next three boats, so medals will still be out their to be won on the final day.
It was announced just a little while ago that Friday's start would be a 9:00am (to a few groans) and two races would be run to be finished as early as possible and avoid some predicted weather.
Additional report and full results on full story.

RED Gear Racing team proves to ALMOST be human
Thursday started out light and shifty---the high pressure system that had been holding the front out had meandered out of the way---allowing almost normal conditions.
The Race Committee took station at 9:30 a.m. with mark-set boats also taking station. At 9:55 a postponement was posted as the breezes were at 4.2 mph and the local thought it would fade away similar to what happens on our Gulfcoast.
But by 10;30, the breeze had built to racing weather---7 mph---and settled down enough to get a start. Thirty three boats started in what we thought might be a parade to A mark.
But, the breezes decided to get shift and make for difficult sailing. Pressure was here-then there-then over there-but going to the beach side of the bay seemed to be the right way.
The bay is separated from the gulf by a narrow strip of land that is highly populated---many fancy houses---so the sea breeze had to skip over the land much as it does in Boca Ceiga Bay.
After the first leg---a COC (change of course) was indicated and the mark-set boats scrambled to move the course right as that’s the way the breeze kept shifting. But there is one more variable that exists at the bottom end---the deep channel with tides---so sometimes it paid to get over in that channel going downwind and ride the wind and current---I know---I get lost in this stuff too.
Race 1 saw Robbie and Hunter catch the breaks for another first place with our other local favorite---Jennifer Lindsey grabbing a 13th.
Again more right shift before the 2nd race and another shift of course before the start. Daniel had to work for this one rounding the top mark in 8th place…..but, not for long---after a change of course—he grabbed another first with Jennifer dropping to 18th. The breeze was a little fresher now—10 to 11 mph.
For the third race---another shift---and away we went---or should I say—they? Daniel proved to be human in this race and could not come back from 8th place. So, that’s his throw out at this point. Jennifer also had some problems with the shifty breezes and ended up with a 23rd. The boats seemed to be able to be able to sail to either side of the course or up the middle---as Greg Goodall did winning his first race of the day. So Team Capricorn is looking pretty good—at least 2 of the 6 sailing.
For the 4th race of the day---again---pressure and there but Greg Goodall, the designer of the Capricorn and the designer of the sails jumped out to a monstrous lead---defeating the Daniel team by over 2 minutes. However, I have to say they really had to work for that finish.
The PRO sent everyone to the beach for a break and some good burgers and libations. All are looking forward to a final day tomorrow.
