 |
| The dock was beautifully
sheltered. ... |
 |
| A granddaughter was also
... ... |
 |
| ... visiting. ... |
 |
| After an hour's rest, we
decided we were ready to return to camp. ... |
 |
| The winds were just right
for a sail home under jib alone. Note how Ralph and André
(l) are carefully
rolling their main so that it won't get in the way on the
sail home in winds that are now frequently gusting over
twenty knots. ... |
 |
| Steve Graefe warms up for
the sail home. ... |
 |
| Mary Abel takes some
welcome refreshment on this scorcher of a day as ... ... |
 |
| ... she and Julia chat. ... |
 |
| Tom Erickson ... |
 |
| Ralph (l) and André
cruise off down the St. Lawrence River back towards Cedar
Point under jib alone. ... |
 |
| Likewise Tony and Mary. ... |
 |
| Tom Erickson (r)
and Brian Ritchie will go for a bit more speed ... ... |
 |
| ... by adding a well reefed
main to the sail plan. ... |
 |
| yes sir! more speed coming
right up!. ... |
 |
| Patsy untangles the jib
sheets, before she and ... ... |
 |
| ... Kit take off to follow
Tony and Mary. ... |
 |
| Then it's the Graefes,
Steve and Tom. ... |
 |
| Lastly, SHADES
dawdles off. Julia checks the chart though that should
hardly be necessary since all we need do is follow the
south shore and turn right at Cedar Point State Park. ... |
 |
| Ah, what a nice relaxing
way to sail, thinks Uncle Al. ... |
 |
| Perfect for having a good
long look at what's going by on shore, too! |
