Unfortunately things did not go az
well at Bellport Bay as they have at
the other ports. Due to a misunder-
standing, more than one-half OF the fleet
started to sail the wrong course This
caused several Of the craft to withdraw.
Again, a rain squall broke as the yachts
were on the second round and this killed
the breeze. For awhile the yachts were
practically becalmed. Later light
breeze came over the sand dunes of
Water Island enabling the yachts to
finish and then continue on TO Blue
Point

they did. but tho breeze was 50 light that
