breakfast,
starting good and early. Having stoked up, we all drove
back past the
NBYC to pick up our boats. But first, Julia and Al had
to strike our
tent, etc. that Marc
had left for Julia and me to take care of in light of
his 0400 hrs
departure back to Toronto and work. Imagine our delight
when we arrived
at the top of the hill to discover that Andrew, Jason
and
Lori had long since taken care of all that! Who could
ask for better
friends??!!

Better them than me: with
the
odd healthy puff coming in straight off the water, I
wouldn't be caught
dead launching with the sails up. Quite apart from the
potential for
boat damage, I would shudder at the possibility of

potential
disasters. ... |
