To Wayfarer Sailors par excellence
 
We are fresh off a great Wayfarer Weekend at North Bay with all participants having experienced exciting racing (exceptional conditions at times) and wonderful social events. Our thanks to the Hansmans and all the crew they gathered to put on this really grand event.
 
I am hoping we can continue the momentum through to the Wayfarer Ontarios in Ottawa in two weeks time. www.ldsc.ca/wayfarer 
 
We have two members' boats available as loaners if you are able to come without your own boat. We will also be able to provide crew for those skippers who can come with boat only.
 
There is plenty of camping room on the club grounds with washrooms and kitchen in the clubhouse. No showers, however. Lots of accommodation in the immediate vicinity and this is listed on the web site above.
 
Consider a short holiday in the nation's capital and use the club as a campsite for your accommodation. Great way to have an inexpensive holiday!
 
We are ready and look forward to your participation.
 
Let me know if you can join us and we will keep you a spot at the Banquet table.
 
Great sailing to all
