dscn0726 - On the downwind leg of the race, with most of the fleet far astern....
Nick Fusco's trying to catch us on the downwind leg in his Catalina 16. That's Josh Colvin of Small Craft Advisor magazine along for the ride. And behind Nick is Jerry Barrilleaux... it's a rare sight to see Jerry off my stern!!!!
