| One of our hosts checks out the
chart
with us. ... |
 |

hosts (front row right) to cope with. front row, l to r: Tony (with cottage dog), Mary, Patsy, our two hosts (one with granddaughter) back row, l to r: Kit, Julia, Al, Brian, André, Tom, Ralph, Steve, Tom for full-size pic, click here; then use Back button to return to this page ... |
 |
| The dock was beautifully
sheltered. ... |
 |
| A granddaughter was also ... ... |
 |
| ... visiting. ... |
 |
| After an hour's rest, we decided
we were ready to return to camp. ... |
 |
| The winds were just right for a
sail home under jib alone. Note how Ralph and André (l) are carefully rolling their
main so that it won't get in the way on the sail home in winds that are
now frequently gusting over twenty knots. ... |
 |
| Steve Graefe warms up for the
sail home. ... |
 |
| Mary Abel takes some welcome
refreshment on this scorcher of a day as ... ... |
 |
| ... she and Julia chat. ... |
 |
| Tom Erickson ... |
 |
| Ralph (l) and
André cruise off down the St. Lawrence River back towards Cedar
Point under jib alone. ... |
 |
| Likewise Tony and Mary. ... |
 |
| Tom Erickson (r) and
Brian Ritchie will go for a bit more speed ... ... |
 |
| ... by adding a well reefed main
to the sail plan. ... |
 |
| yes sir! more speed coming right
up!. ... |
 |
| Patsy untangles the jib sheets,
before she and ... ... |
 |
| ... Kit take off to follow Tony
and Mary. ... |
 |
| Then it's the Graefes, Steve and
Tom. ... |
 |
| Lastly, SHADES dawdles
off. Julia checks the chart though that should hardly be necessary
since all we need do is follow the south shore and turn right at Cedar
Point State Park. ... |
 |
| Ah, what a nice relaxing way to
sail, thinks Uncle Al. ... |
 |
| Perfect for having a good long
look at what's going by on shore, too! |
