Passing
the Torch: On behalf of last year's Nationals hosts, the Awosting Yacht
Squadron, Bill Selick passes the Mint
Julep Bucket to Cheryl Hockenberry of this year's hosts, the
Clark Lake YC. Note: the mint julep makings having failed to arrive, we
opted for Dark and Stormies
which were very well received, even by the kiddies who got their taste
before Bill added the Gosling's to the ginger beer.
