We all gathered at the dock for the Captain's Meeting. The course and rules were defined: Down and back for 2 laps. Sportsmanship over all. I corralled an innocent spectator (Jack Brown) and made him timekeeper. We were all to re-enter the boats, and Jack would call out the 2-Minute Warning. Then he would call 1-Minute, then 30-Seconds, then countdown from 10. At Go, we were to cross the start line and begin the race.
