Florida Pixie #5

The fifth Pixie was held on 5-17-98 at the Gulfport Yacht Club. Winds were 5 to10, with "washing machine" chop.  Rod, Nancy, and Joe spent the afternoon battling it out with each other. Rod won the first two races by a small margin. Nancy had her turn in the third race.

Quite behind the three leaders was the rest of the fleet. Mindy led the rest of the fleet going into the third race but as usual Paul woke up and slipped ahead at the last minute.

Audrey Creamer, the leader in the B fleet, had an explosive day finishing each race better than a third of the A fleeters.
