the 2nd Annual North American Cruising Rally
July 12-15, 2001 * Chaumont Bay, New York
..
Friday afternoon: winds of 15 - 20 knots but Tom Erickson is nicely reefed for single-handing
and finds no problems on the lovely, protected and flat waters of Chaumont Bay.
...
The intrepid mariner returns.
...
The SHADES team moves into a campsite right on the water's edge.
...
Chef, Dick Harrington, barbecues some of the delicious steaks he brought for all Rally participants.
A bit of Friday evening rain does nothing to keep Tom Graefe from supervising.
...
Hungry but happy: (l to r) Our hosts, Jim and Brenda Meara, with Monique and André Girard
...
Their lovely daughter, Renee, accompanied Jake and Mary Maarse this year.
...
A look at those lovely steaks would bring a smile to anyone's face.
...
Jim Meara - looking every bit the "old" salt
...
... as does Tom Erickson
...
The hungry hordes descend on dinner.
...
While Dick and Margie have deserted their campsite for dinner, their neighbours enjoy the warm waters of the bay.
...
Saturday morning and it's launch time prior to the day's Cruise Races.
