North American Wayfarer Rally Thousand Islands, St. Lawrence River, Cedar Point State Park, Clayton, NY * July 28 - August 5, 2006 Fri 4 Aug: pictures - 2 by Uncle Al |
 |
| Brian and Betty (280) did
sail out of the marina but did not come with us. Commodore
Harrington (887) and Bill Harkins (2526) are ready to
proceed and so we're underway. ... |
 |
| Tom and Nel enjoy this
nice, refreshing dawdle down current on yet another hot
day. ... |
 |
| As do Tony and Mary. ... |
 |
| As far as I could tell -
having missed the skippers' meeting due to a late
breakfast in Clayton - we would sail downriver and explore
the shore opposite the town of Clayton. ... |
 |
| Unfortunately, this is
about the best shot of W280 I managed to get all week. ... |
 |
|
While Tom and Tony chase after the
J-24 far off our bow, Julia gets to use a museum piece
of her own: the treasured spinnaker that was given to me
by the World Champion, Mike McNamara, in 1992. This
masterpiece only makes an appearance on special
occasions!
... |
 |
| Tom (9668) and Tony give
the J some company, while Dick ... ... |
 |
| ... brings a puff from
astern. ... |
 |
| Fine spinnaker form from
Mary who doesn't seem to be pushing herself too hard,
though. ... |
 |
| We had a pleasant chat with
the holiday-making group on the J. ... |
 |
| Near Clayton, we angled in
towards the south shore on a close spinnaker reach when
Julia decided she'd like to see ... ... |
 |
| ... the Fair View Manor
Restaurant ... ... |
 |
| ... from the water. ... |
 |
| Then we gybed and sailed
across to join the others who were ... ... |
 |
| ... now hugging the south
shore of Grindstone Island. ... |
 |
| Dick and Margie have ... ... |
 |
| ... brought us more wind. ... |
 |
| Tom and Nel are ... ... |
 |
| ... zipping right along
with Calumet Island (?) off their starboard bow! ... |
 |
| Dick had had high hopes for
Aunt Jane's Bay as a good lunch stop but it turned out to
be rather marshy. |
