Slowly but surely the tow passed us, as we ...   - click here for full-size pic

... hit the occasional soft spot in the wind.

As the Wayfarers enjoy one of those rare times when you need to sit well aft in the boat,
tour guide Fred points out the interesting sights.
...

It was a pleasant ride for all, and before we knew it, we were ...   - click here for full-size pic

... haul out.
...

The Hansmans, too, sailed back, so that Mitchell (l) got to sail today after all!
...

Enjoying his single-handed sail back - a grand day for it - was Andrew Haill,
whose crew, Michele, was seduced by the comforts of a drive back on the raft.
...

Julia orchestrates the SHADES haul-out, directing Al, "Towards you a bit - not that much!" etc.
...

Some sail folding is in the offing for the Blue Sky club boats.

...

The now healthy on-shore breeze means that extra care must be taken when hauling out - especially a beauty like Banshee!
...

Just about ready to head back to Ottawa are Lori and Jason.
...

Fred Black, with his lumberjack look, will be off to Toronto.
...

Staying in North Bay will be Mitchell (l) and Dave (r) who live here, and John who along with Dolores and her
daughter, Michele, will visit for the rest of the week with the Jamieson family while relaxing and fishing.
...

So, is this Walter Koch??
...

Steph Romaniuk didn't get to sail today but he is being permitted to help put the boat away!
...

After a pensive moment, it'll be back to Ottawa for Andy Douma and Joan.
...

If Uncle Al gets going here, he and Julia will be in time for dinner with Julia's parents at their cottage on Fox Lake west of Huntsville, where Julia and Al will relax for the rest of the week before Al, poor lad, has to rush off to a lovely mountain lake in New Jersey to crew in the Rebel Nationals Sunday through Thursday.
...

After her restful ride back, Michele is in perfect shape to help Andrew
get Njord ready for the long haul back to Thunder Bay.
...

John and Dolores put the finishing touches on Silverfox, while Uncle Al (pink Rock Hall cap) dreams of a Timmy's coffee.
...

Mary and Tony look to be in good spirits despite facing a long trip back to North East, Maryland.
...

"See you in two weeks!" waves Mary, referring to the annual Rally, this year at Killbear Park,
where many of us will meet again in the near future.
