Moment of suspense comes on the second reach, when the dastardly Amthors were close behind. Amthors and Spot pass Macy and Art at the gybe mark. The Amthors gain some distance by the leeward mark and set a loose cover on Spot up the beat. Amthors go hard right and come out in the lead despite a puff down the middle. Meller and Nelson lose by going too far left in a lull.
Boats cross each other up the beat, changing positions.
Spot hits the left pretty hard with Amthors covering. We will see you all in two weeks.
