Uncle Al's Scrap Book: Wednesday, the 17th - 1
pics by Julia and Al Schonborn

Early to bed, early to rise: Al captures the pre-dawn low-tide look outside the tent while ...
 ...

... wishing he had a coffee.
...

Chuck and Ginny catch up on the news while waiting for Al and Julia to arrive at Percy's.
...

Another briefing on ...
...

... yet another lovely day
...

(l to r) Julia, Joe, Chuck, Margie Harrington, André, Mary Trepal, Nel
...

And Monique has arrived, looking lovely in pink
...

Al surreptitiously signs the Rally waiver, hoping that Chuck isn't looking. Chuck is a lawyer who wholeheartedly disapproves of such waivers since in his experience, all they do is give insurance companies an excuse to fight having to pay any claims by an injured party, which, without the waiver, they might well be inclined to pay more promptly.

Kit checks the proposed route with his navigator, Patsy

Perhaps Mary Trepal's mind is already on her day ashore but Nel still concentrates.
...

While her mother who will sail in Blue Mist today pays close attention, Krystal ...
...

... finds better things to occupy her time.
...

And of course, there's her little girl to be looked after!
...

Wayfarers à la sardine ...
...

... as Al arrives, eager to check that ...
...

... SHADES' freshly re-threaded main halyard will indeed function as required.
...

It appears that we all made it through the night unscathed.
...

Possum looking fine!
...

Blue Mist, a model of ...
...

... Wayfarer cruising efficiency. You won't find a better example of ...
...

... "a place for everything and everything in its place" ...
...

... anywhere!
