One of our most prolific photographers, Janice Ryder, and her husband ...
...

... Ken, were visiting their daughter, Mike Smith's wife ...
...

... Sandra, and the grandsons, Riley and ...
...

... Thomas (7).
...

The dinner was great but the dessert even better, Thomas seems to think.
...

As usual at Clark Lake, everybody had a great time!
...

The proud grandparents with Riley.
...

Mom asks for a goofy shot - and gets it!
...

Thomas reaches the top.
...

Shannon uses the wait before race 2 to ...
...

... get in a bit of hiking practice.
...

I don't know, Shannon ... that dismount was only about a 9.0!!

Uncle Al in his shirt from the Rock Hall YC Summer Regatta. That regatta, sailed annually at the mouth of the Chester River on the Chesapeake Bay across from Baltimore, is another of Al's never-to-be-missed favourites.
...

Our PRO (yellow shirt) informs us that right after this early supper, we will sail a short race #2.
Little did he know - well, he may have suspected - just how short it would be!!
...

It was an evening to enjoy!!
...

Our wind indicators were active as we ...
...

... finished another delicious meal.
...

Did someone say Democrats?
...

At right, Patti Schmida chats with Bob Puckey who may well be explaining
how the flukey winds did him and his helm, Neil Robb, out of a gold-plated 2nd!!
...

No complaints from Joe DeBrincat (r) who won the Wayfarer race!!
...

Uncle Al's zoom lens strikes again!
...

Poised near the free drinks department are Mike Smith (r) and Craig Spear.
From free draft beer to iced tea, there was, as always, something to please every palate.
...

Stephanie Hirsch improves her mind while awaiting the call to race #2.
...

While Kevin Nickels (light-blue shirt) chats with the Vorels, his dad, Dave, tells one of his many great sailing tales to ...
...

... John Washburn (r).
...

Sitting out in front of the clubhouse is another great place to be at Clark Lake.

Alas, the little breeze we were getting during ...
...

... supper seems to be dying!
...

But there was other fun to be had.
...

Guess which of these four won't be sailing!
...

W2951, Team Quiz, made this a real family outing.
(l to r) Marci Austerberry, Todd and Beth Pascoe, Mike Austerberry
...

The Pascoes brought their daughter, Katie (7) who seemed to be having a great time, as did the ...
...

... Austerberry offspring: Robin (l) and Adam.
...

What mom could refuse a request made so charmingly??!!
...

It didn't take the kiddies long to discover a much better ...
...

... use for the hoist!!
...

Our Cadillac (MI) Wayfarers: Mark and Lori Murton
...

That Maltese Falcon, Joe DeBrincat and ...
...

... his wife and daughter, Vicky and Noelle
...

Sand sculpture in progress as Noelle enjoys evening on the ...
...

... beach in front of the club.
...

The artiste admires her work.
...

And the club even provides a babysitting service along with its fine play area.
