the
steak
BBQ! Chefs, Dave (l) and Tom Graefe
did full justice to
the delicious steaks and potatoes brought by Dick
and Margie Harrington
as Kevin Pegler (r) was quick to discover.
Special thanks from
Uncle Al to Ron and Lori Baker who shared one plate
for their dinner so
that the under-prepared Uncle Al could eat off
something more
substantial than his hands.

distracts the food line! Frank Goulay, Al's crew, has
arrived at last!! ... |

Baker (centre) and Roxanne Royce (W658)
from Richmond,

 |
| Roxanne and Al
- usually Lightning sailors - have restored W658 and
are now happy to
compare notes with other Wayfarers at last! |

While
most of
the others stayed in the picnic shelter to enjoy a
programme of folk
and other music, Frank and Al went on a mission of
mercy.
Unfortunately, the wine and liquor emporium in
Vergennes had closed at
8 p.m., so all we got were beer, ice and chocolate
bars from the local
grocery store.
The
return of the rains put a literal damper on
many a plan to
socialize around campfires. Frank and I for
instance, drove over to
Tony and Mary’s site where we all sat in Al’s car
and had a few beers
before deciding an early night would not be all that
unacceptable.
