 |
| Brian and Betty (280) did sail
out of the marina but did not come with us. Commodore Harrington (887)
and Bill Harkins (2526) are ready to proceed and so we're underway. ... |
 |
| Tom and Nel enjoy this nice,
refreshing dawdle down current on yet another hot day. ... |
 |
| As do Tony and Mary. ... |
 |
| As far as I could tell - having
missed the skippers' meeting due to a late breakfast in Clayton - we
would sail downriver and explore the shore opposite the town of Clayton. ... |
 |
| Unfortunately, this is about the
best shot of W280 I managed to get all week. ... |
 |
|
While Tom and Tony chase after the J-24 far
off our bow, Julia gets to use a museum piece of her own: the treasured
spinnaker that was given to me by the World Champion, Mike McNamara, in
1992. This masterpiece only makes an appearance on special occasions!
... |
 |
| Tom (9668) and Tony give the J
some company, while Dick ... ... |
 |
| ... brings a puff from astern. ... |
 |
| Fine spinnaker form from Mary
who doesn't seem to be pushing herself too hard, though. ... |
 |
| We had a pleasant chat with the
holiday-making group on the J. ... |
 |
| Near Clayton, we angled in
towards the south shore on a close spinnaker reach when Julia decided
she'd like to see ... ... |
 |
| ... the Fair View Manor
Restaurant ... ... |
 |
| ... from the water. ... |
 |
| Then we gybed and sailed across
to join the others who were ... ... |
 |
| ... now hugging the south shore
of Grindstone Island. ... |
 |
| Dick and Margie have ... ... |
 |
| ... brought us more wind. ... |
 |
| Tom and Nel are ... ... |
 |
| ... zipping right along with
Calumet Island (?) off their starboard bow! ... |
 |
| Dick had had high hopes for Aunt
Jane's Bay as a good lunch stop but it turned out to be rather marshy. |
