Those annual transient tourists, the shad flies hit downtown North Bay just as we were leaving!!

Those lucky enough to live on Trout Lake could sail over to the race.

This year, our group ended up at the cottage of Dave Richardson's dad, John (one of Trout Lake's Wayfarer pioneers in the 60s).

Western Rally participants take note: We, too, have had to wash sand and pebbles out of our centreboard boxes and have learned: either all the way in or all the way out! never with the box where the waves break!!! (Al has slot closure strips but was taking no chances!)
