Everywhere we looked ...
...

... we saw beauty!
...

Some of us ...
...

... were attracted by the beauty of the cool, clear water.
...

Yup! It's cool all right!
...

While Mary soaks up the refreshment, Uncle Al - very easily refreshed - returns from another 50-foot swim!
...

Andrew and Tony opt for the ...
...

... sudden immersion technique.
...

Tony seems to find the water very refreshing!
...

Diving judges Al, Krystal and Lisa get set to evaluate Dick?
...

Krystal has detected a flaw in the artistic merit.
...

Or is the flaw in the water temperature?
...

Once committed, she tries to lure dad in for a swim.
...

It must be cold; Lori's wearing her hat.
...
For the moment, at least.
...

Speaking of fine form!!
...

And a little dip for our gentleman from the South, Bill Harkins.
...

The trip back to Lighthouse promised to be mostly dead downwind, a perfect opportunity
to go inside Rose Island to see if we really could get out at the other end. - for full-size chart image, click here

Tony (4105) and Andrew make spinnaker book ends for ...
...

... Blue Mist.
...

Approaching Pell Island, Dave and Carol lead the way into the Rose Island Channel while ...
...

... Andy and David stick closer to the ...
...

... Parry Island side.
...

Alan and Mary get to relax as ...
...

... Lisa chauffeurs MAJAM.
...

So far, so good, as a perfect breeze ...
...

... moves Windshaker right along.
