Moonlight Marathon completed!  39.5nm - took us just over 5.5 hours.  We had a great start in 18-20kt winds - single reef with the #3 jib.  Lead off the line and first around TI (except for the multihull that was racing too).  We close reached back to Hunter's Point and then put up the A3 and sailed that to the San Mateo Bridge.  At the bridge the wind was backing and getting lighter so we ditched the A3 and put up the A2 and sailed that to the finish.  First to finish at 22:31:56 (started at 1700) and corrected out 3rd.  A wet ride up the Bay in the ebb, but a beautiful sail home - the last hour under the rising moon.

Drake's Bay double handed next weekend...
