Little to no wind in the river at the start. Motored out to halfway between R"4" and Y"AN" to find breeze. Easy, close reach (pseudo-beat) toward North Shoal and Hackett Point.

Tacked at the "windward mark" and flew spinnaker with two gybes down to a position approaching WNR Mark "D".

Doused and hardened up to fetch Horn Point and R"8".

Finished at AYC.
