Farallon stand off, this argument will never end.
You are not going to get a precise course established, ever, until the RC, both ours and OYRA, sets two to three way points around the island. This is done in world renowned globe circling races for safety. Gates are set, waypoint s are established, to avoid rocks and ice. However, the after guard of NC offshore racing fails to see the utility of this. That said, rounding the island to the north was a windward shore condition in minimal seas.

I could have shaved 5 minutes from my rounding had I cut the corner like many did on this light day and I certainly wanted to.
