 |
| So on
we sailed eastwards. I believe Dick was contemplating a
sail around Picton Island. ... |
 |
| Tony
and Mary sail past what I think is Calumet Island. ... |
 |
| The
increasing winds were ... ... |
 |
| ...
turning this into a ... ... |
 |
| ...
great day for boat ... ... |
 |
| ...
portraits! ... |
 |
| I
believe that's Bill and Margie in the distance behind
... ... |
 |
| ...
Tony and Mary. ... |
 |
| Tom
and Nel do a little sightseeing. ... |
 |
| Fortunately for us,
Dick was ... ... |
 |
| ... really hugging the
shore of Grindstone. ... |
 |
| As
Dick and Margie began to sail past Rusho Bay, a cottage
owner appeared on a dock and beckoned them in. Dick in
turn, waved to us, and in short order we were all nice
and snug ... ... |
 |
| ... at
a very substantial ... ... |
 |
| ...
dock. Imagine my surprise when the gentleman leaned into
my boat and said, "Al Schonborn, I presume." (or words
to that effect). And when he took off his sunglasses, I
recognized ... ... |
 |
|
... Marty
Zonnenberg, former Commodore and one of the keenest
sailors at the Lake Eustis Sailing Club, Florida home
of the Wayfarers' Midwinters!! Since the LESC has a
large, active fleet of Wayfarers, Marty knows a
Wayfarer when he sees one, and he wasn't about to pass
up this chance to have a visit from five Wayfarers!
What a pleasant shock it was to happen across Marty so
far from the Florida home with which I had always
associated him!
... |
 |
| Marty's
hobby
is restoring old wooden boats and he keeps them all up
here at his summer place on Grindstone Island. ... |
 |
| Never
mind the Antique Boat Show. We got to see our own museum
right here! In the boat house above, are two gloriously
perfect motor boats that take you right back to the days
of rum running and the days when even motor boats could
be beautiful! ... |
 |
| We had
a relaxed and extremely pleasant lunch break with Marty
for about an hour. ... |
 |
|
With the ever
increasing westerlies promising us a lively beat back
up the river to Cedar Point, we decided that this was
as far down the river as we wanted to go. As we got
ready to set sail, Margie Harrington chuckled at the
boat chugging past in the distance. She must have
eagle eyes because it took my camera's zoom lens
...
... |
 |
| ... to show me why Margie was smiling. |
