I suggest you designate a crew member whose sole duty is to project the course forward on the chart and watch the depth sounder with no distractions. Don't forget the strong current set.

In the distance past there was likely a moment in some local sailor's dive where one slightly tipsy resident of one town pointed a finger at the resident of the other town and announced that "you lads can't sail and your bottom needs cleaning." No doubt many of the historic races started this way - a drink, a taunt, a trophy. Australia got the Sydney-Hobart, we got the Port-to-Port. It's our own local [...]
