Thanks to our kitchen and bar president, maker of Dark 'n Stormies par excellence. Linda O’Shea, is the same lady who made the “Welcome Wayfarers” banner and was prepared for the Dark & Stormies.  Her son, Mike O’Shea, plays for the Toronto Argonauts.

These two young folks were in the other mark boat (windward mark).  She is Krista Pedersen and he is Nathaniel Houle.  They were getting their thank you present from Krista's aunt, Carol.  They have already volunteered again for next year, having enjoyed it so much this year despite the cool weather.

It was a good haul for Alastair Ryder-Turner and son, Andrew: Nationals 3rd,
the Gillespie Award (best placing by a Parent/Offspring team) and the Nationals' Most Improved!!!

Pennant and boat wax for Rob and Samantha who finished the lowest out of all boats who completed all races. Note, however,
that the Wierdsmas improved with every race beginning with a 14th of 15 in race 1 but having moved up to a 7th in the finale.

Thanks for doing tons of great work, Dave and Carol Hansman with Carol's sister, Cathy Jessup (between them).
Their efforts were applauded by all, and especially by ...
