| Tom and Nel get set for
their landfall with ... ... |
 |
| ... David and Tony
waiting to help. A closer look reveals a genoa with the
Wayfarer equivalent of "hat hair" - a sure sign that the
genoa has been stored in the furled position for some
considerable length of time. ... |
 |
| Our boats may be "low
budget" but the view is "world class"!!! -

it. - click here for full-size pic ... |

| Tony checks that Trouble's painter
has not be tampered with by Uncle Al who has ... ... |
 |
| ... tied up beside Trouble. Countless

guys are contemplating a swim, which ... ... |

for standing here looking like this! ... |
 |
| A little on the nippy
side, isn't it, guys? Are there sharks?! Finally,
someone counted to three and most of us took the ... ... |
 |
| ... plunge. Conditioned
by decades of capsizes, Uncle Al likes to keep his swims
short and is already on his to shore, where ... ... |
 |
| ... he assures Bill that
it's lovely, very refreshing - which on this hot day, it
truly was!!! ... |

extra time to get washed and otherwise dolled up for the
big Wayfarer Black Tie
Happy Hour at the Hansmans'. ... |

| Krystal provides a nice
telltale-assisted wind direction check. Not that Bill, Nel and Margie seem to be grasping its earth-shattering significance!! |
