LASERS TOWARD THE SHORE

..
If the windward mark is anywhere near the shore, explore the wind along the layline nearest the shore.

As the wind comes over a shore, it is turned perpendicular to the shore line. You should be able to find a big header at the shore.

If the header is there, the first one to get to it should round the mark first.
