North Bay Wayfarer Weekend Monday: Nostalgia Picnic chez McNutt - 2 photos by Breanne Jamieson, Carol Hansman, Julia & Al Schonborn |
 |
| Old yearbooks added
even
more fine memories. ... |
 |
| Uncle Al (grey shirt)
compliments Dave Hansman on the magnificent job he has
done in putting together this
absolutely marvellous North Bay Wayfarer Revival!! ... |
 |
| Chefs, John de Boer
and
Fred McNutt (r) prepare the main course, which
is duly ... ... |
 |
| ... appreciated,
garnished,
accessorized and ... ... |
 |
| ... devoured!! ... |
 |
| Some sat in the shade
while
others ... ... |
 |
| ... enjoyed that last
of
the sunshine - which was already being threatened by
overcast skies to
the west. ... |
 |
| The MC, Dave Hansman,
breaks the suspense by announcing the winners in the
first annual Trout
Lake Poker Run: ... |
 |
| Not content with
showering
Al with nice shifts, Lady Luck, smiles on his poker
hands just enough
to give Al and Julia first place. Interviewed after the
Run, Julia
commented: "Al has mellowed!!! He didn't yell
even once!!" ... |
 |
| Second in the sailing
and
second overall were Fred Black and Michelle Dicker. ... |
 |
| A cool, cloudy breeze
reminds us that the forecast rain is on its way and that
... ... |
 |
| ... most of us still
need
to do several miles of upwind work before we can haul
out at the hangar. ... |
 |
|
But first, Grace
Chapman,
who crewed for George Blanchard for decades of Trout
Lake Wayfarer
Weekends, will at least have a brief Wayfarer sail on
Trout Lake,
albeit with Dave Hansman since George Blanchard's
health did not permit
him to
make the trip - this year!!!
... |
 |
| A well fed and
"watered"
flotilla sets off towards Delaney Bay as ... ... |
 |
| ... Dave and Grace
return
from their sail. ... |
 |
| Every minute, the sky is getting grayer
and the wind lighter. ... |
 |
| Lesley can smile -
she's driving
home!!! ... |
 |
| Long before most of us
reached our haul-out point, the wind had died completely
and a light
rain
had begun. But Dave's plan had anticipated even this eventuality and Breanne and Ross (above) ... ... |
 |
| ... Mitchell and his
grandma, and ... ... |
 |
| ... the rest of us
were
soon enjoying a tow back to ... ... |
 |
| ... a speedy haul-out. ... |
 |
| Dave and Carol even
got the
serious rain to hold off until we had packed up and were
... ... |
 |
| ... ready to hit the
road.
Above, Anne (l) and Michelle enjoy the last few
moments before
a deluge that would last much of the evening. It was a glorious weekend indeed!!! Do join us in 2006! There's enough fun for all!! |
