Breezes ranged from one to three knots Saturday, making for a very leisurely Labor Day weekend race for Homer&rsquo;s sailors.
Ron Downing, winner of several races this season, was one of three racers stranded at the green can for nearly an hour.  &ldquo;Then we lost all wind 100 feet from the finish and were sucked toward the ferry dock so I had to turn on the motor (thus disqualifying.)&rdquo; 
Downing said that the initial plan for a course was abandoned due to lack of wind and they just &ldquo;raced&rdquo; from the Hickory dock around the green can shoal marker a little west of the Spit, 2.8 nautical miles.
