| Alex guides Shadow towards the ramp while dad
goes to get the trailer. Little do Peter and Alex know that this was
their last sail of the 2011 Midwinters: Peter's knee would stiffen up
over night, and the Rahns ended up going back to Montreal Saturday
afternoon. ... |

last year, Al gets set to move SHADES
in beside Free Range
Chick'n on the Sam Chapin Beach. ... |

wait for Tony and Richard to return with the refreshments. ... |

looking on, Uncle Al demonstrates his tape-less method of installing
virgin wool ticklers. ... |

 |

is carefully ... ... |
 |
