Wayfarer Weekend 2006 Don Rumble Memorial - pre-race photos (mostly) by Gillian Danby |
Early Monday morning,
Uncle
Al's treasured Starbucks coffee mug has been duly
refilled with
non-union coffee and awaits Al's return from his trip to the water's edge to see if there really is virtually no wind to be seen anywhere. ... |
The mark layers
are all
set for the day's scheduled 5-race Don Rumble
Memorial series,
name for the CWA's first Honorary Commodore, Don
Rumble (W634) who died
in 1970 while leading a fleet race on Trout Lake. His
daughters, Anne
McNutt and Gillian Danby, as well as son-in-law, Fred
McNutt, are our
race committee in this series each year.

And so we launched
into a
peaceful Monday morning. ... |
The club front lawn is
a
great place to sit and watch wind developments - of
which there are few
so far. ... |
Trevor Hughes has, as
always, reported for duty. ... |
Dave Hansman uses the
Skippers' Meeting as an opportunity to give well
deserved thanks to the
kitchen volunteers. ... |
Looks like NBYC
Commodore,
Mogens Christensen, has been pressed into signals duty
by the RC. ... |
No one is in too much
of a
hurry to test their drifting skills today. ... |
Barb Edwards (l)
and Pat Aplevich wait patiently and comfortably. |
