Henry Van Brussel gets everything ship shape for tomorrow's Canada Day Race.
...

A little Friday night BBQ gets things nicely under way: (l to r) Dave Hansman, John and Dolores de Boer, Michelle Dicker
...

Tony Krauss and Mary Abel arrive after a long trip from Maryland.
...

Canada Day: Lori Beehler and Jason Hassard arrive from Ottawa.
...

John and Dolores have done this so often, they could do it in their sleep!
...

Half a dozen Wayfarers add that missing touch to North Bay's Canada Day waterfront festivities.
...

Dave Hansman pays attention to detail.
...

Henry gets a little helping hand from John.
...

Dave (l) and his crew du jour, Dave Richardson (W4782), check the SIs.
...

Uncle Al - another Wayfarer who could do all this in his sleep - and quite possibly does!!
...

Lori and Jason's Green Side Up is ready for launch.
...

The waterfront parking lot was not the most elegant of locales, but Uncle Al (r) wanted to make sure he didn't forget again to present Mary with the green pennants that she and Tony earned by being the Most Improved Wayfarer team at the Rock Hall Regatta in Maryland two weeks previously.
...

Ah yes! The shadflies (see vertical part of Al's bow fitting) came two weeks early this year. Having no mouths, these numerous creatures live short lives and obviously do not bite.
...

The Skippers' Meeting briefly blocks the waterfront promenade by the marina.
