Nick Seraphinoff works hard to get
his original
Wayfarer race-ready on the Friday.
..
|
|
Local J-22 sailors, Don Thwing Jr.
and his
son, Don the Third, borrowed another of the Seraphinoff Wayfarer fleet
for the North Americans. W560 used to be campaigned by Don Parker and
is
now sailed by Nick' son, Nicky.
..
|
|
Don and Don head out past the Tawas
Coast Guard
station for a Friday evening practice run.
..
|
|
"So, tell me, what does this rope
do??"
..
|
|
Meanwhile, the reclamation project
has left
the garage and is being put into racing trim
by Matt Princing (l) and John McCree
as
Nick looks on.
..
|
|
After a leisurely trip all the way
from Ottawa,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Goulay have arrived...
..
|
|
... and compares notes with another
pair of
weary, long-distance travellers, Alex and Peter Rahn of Bainsville, ON.
..
|
|
John and Matt explain to Mary
Seraphinoff how
they're fixing the latest addition to the Seraphinoff stable.
..
|
|
A spinnaker borrowed from John deBoer
gets
a critical eye.
..
|
|
Another lovely Tawas sunset.
..
|
|
"I don't know, guys," says Mary,
"that slot
looks a bit tight to me."
..
|
|
Wayfarer Man and Matt Princing ...
..
|
|
... and John McCree go over the finer
points
of the Wayfarer spinnaker...
..
|
|
..... while Nick and Mary discuss the
programme
with the TBYC liaison.
..
|
|
Winds getting gustier from the east...
..
|
|
... as the Thwings return ...
..
|
|
... from their shakedown cruise.
..
|
|
Hope this gusts passes before the
boys run
out of harbour room!!
It's safer, especially for beginners, come
come
under jib alone with the wind well aft.
..
|
|
Dolores and John deBoer have cycled
over from
their "home" at the Tawas Point State Park next door.
..
|
|
TBYC sunsets always seem to be ...
..
|
|
... worth watching.
..
|
|
Looks like we'll have a good, stiff
easterly
for the night.
..
|
|
|
One more quick sunset shot before
Uncle Al
grudgingly heads off to have more liquid refreshment chez les
Seraphinoff.
