Dear Julia and Al,
It has been a great pleasure
seeing you
again among us at this year's rally. Here are some
pictures that might
interest you. You look great and your boat, too! What
a wonderful rally
in such a beautiful place. I won't forget sailing on
the ocean, the
salt water, the tides, the real thing this time?
Quite an
experience for me...the queen of the chickens.
Au revoir et au plaisir,
Monique W3098

our
sail to Seguin Island and the lobster slaughter, begins
with lovely
sunshine and light breezes off the Atlantic Ocean. "Two
strange sail on
the horizon, Capt'n!!" ... |

| André et Monique
round Small Point and can now see ... ...... |
 |
| ... Seguin
Island and
its distinctive lighthouse off the starboard bow. ...... |
 |
| "Another strange sail
off
the starboard bow, Capt'n!!" Recognized almost
immediately as W3854
under spinnaker with Chuck and Ginny Jordan and Al and
Julia Schonborn
aboard. ...... |
 |
| Seguin Island now off
the
port bow and ... ...... |
 |

 |
| Most of the group
rested
for a while in the afternoon after the return from the
Seguin adventure
before facing off against the lobsters who were going to
have a hot
time tonight - but not in the old town!! ... |

some
lamps are lit, and finally, the ... ... |

 |

pretty
eager. ... |

pretty
gracious dining is about to take place. .. |
