“You’ve arrived...” after a brief pause, for celebrating their accomplishment, sent back. In school, it's called repeating a grade, whereas in the longest, continuous freshwater yacht race, it's simply a "return to fleet" maneuver. As in back to whatever port you started from, in this Port Huron to Mackinac boat race, sponsored by Bayview Yacht Club, situated where else, but on "the banks of the Detroit River" 😕

(knotty nautical nugget….a well seasoned sailor has learned via trial-and-error, that prior to calling for “come about” -- check which side of the boat the ones who lack the stomach for this, might be heaving to…)

A natural follow-up flow..."Just smile and wave..." Coming up, from below, next.
