While getting SHADES ready for the short tow tomorrow morning to Trout Lake and the Poker Race,
Uncle Al compares notes on the day's exciting racing with Pat Aplevich.

...

With awards not too far off so that those heading home after today can get away in good time,
we all rushed to get our boats road-ready - either for home or Trout Lake.
...

John de Boer has the Silverfox mast set to come down with help from ...
...
... Walter Koch of the Blue Sky SC.
...

Sue Pilling, and I think, Pat Onions, chat with Anne Black.
...

Kim and Dave

...

Uncle Al is now in no hurry - although the thought of a luxurious shower at the Terrace does appeal.
...

Tony explains it all to Sue - perhaps saying: "How would I know where my crew is??!!"
...

Marc Bennett, the very antithesis of the Crabby Crew in real life, comes bearing gifts.
...

Michael checks his trailer straps.
...

Aah, the lure of the clubhouse and refreshments! Just time for a quick one before our emcee ...
...

... Dave Hansman (l) begins the proceedings with awards for Saturday's Cruise Race - you remember Saturday, the race with the two squalls??!! Anyway, 3rd place went to John and Dolores de Boer.
...

The latter then gets to be presenter of 2nd-place flags to Dave and Carol Hansman.
...

Winners of the 2007 Cruise Race, Uncle Al and Marc Bennett were given a special award, Wayfarer toques, which they have since put to fine use on a cool fall Saturday night at Clark Lake. Thanks a million, Dave!
...

Note, too, how nicely Marc's new watch cap adds to his Crabby Crew look!!
...

Not to be outdone, Al models his cap also - goes well with Al's beloved Cottonwood Regatta (now defunct) T-shirt, eh?
...

And of course, with the win comes the CWA's most beautiful trophy.
...

There was a tie for Most Improved between ...
...

... the team of Dave Richardson and Kim Rainville, and ...
...

... Henry Van Brussel, whose crew, Bernie, has deserted!!
