Sneaking into the North Bay YC ...
...

... Port Tack Too (W9913) is suddenly there the next morning.
...

This must have been some time on Friday since ...
...

... none of the masts are up as yet.
...

Aha! Now Team Ottawa gets to work as Jason and Joan raise the Green Side Up mast.

Tony and Mary, two of several Wayfarers camping out behind the club.
...

Also part of the campers' subculture were (l to r) Andrew, Joan and Lori - the latter proudly wearing her Lake Eustis shirt!

Early Tuesday morning: Camp is ...

... struck as all that remains to complete this glorious weekend is the
Trout Lake Poker Race, after which most have to head back home.

Early morning quiet rules the yacht basin.

After a nice breakfast in the Wasi Variety Store's restaurant, the convoy of Wayfarers follows Uncle Al who claims he knows the way. Tony Krauss (2nd in line) can be forgiven a degree of skepticism, given that Uncle Al twice got lost two weeks previously as he tried to lead Tony back to the Rock Hall YC.
...

It's just as well that Lori (l) and Andrew don't know that!!
...

Lori races on past photographer, Andy.
...

This time Al remembered the way and now we're all at Bob Brown's place on Delaney Bay.
...

Projected start time is 10:30 so none of us ...
...

... wastes any time getting rigged up for the Poker Race.
