| The RHYC Junior
Club
at work: RHYC
Commodore, Chuck
Parry (not visible above unfortunately), was up
to his waist in the shallow water 100 yards off the
beach, as he used a
bullhorn to
orchestrate a bunch of RHYC Juniors sailing Optis all
around him. Chuck
does a
heck of a lot around RHYC, and that includes teaching
the Juniors five
days a
week all summer. ... |
 |
| Surprise! Lee
Cowperthwait, our gracious host, was the bartender on
duty in the
lovely RHYC bar where he ... ... |
 |
| ... introduced
Bill
and me to Dark and Stormies (rum and ginger
beer) which we
thoroughly enjoyed all weekend long. ... |
