Came to the line at 10:29 am.

Water - Initial line was short and Skyy got his first whistle to cross the road. The second came to adjust and recross the road. This carried him into the pond. Two whistles to get to the levee and one to get out and a check down at the bird.

Land - Initial line took Skyy to the first bale and the second whistle came at the second bale. With a third coming by the third bale and the final whistle at the bird.
