Looking down towards
the water which still has an off-shore breeze like yesterday's. Again,
no sailing pics from Uncle Al since there were the odd whitecaps and a
second new crew for Uncle Al. In the end, the winds lost much of their
life before we even got started at 10 a.m. The first of two races gave

stuff that at times reached a rollicking four knots.

After hauling out,
Uncle Al got SHADES de-rigged and covered fairly quickly in
anticipation of the long drive, one he expected to break somewhere in
New York State. Al ended up surrounded by Hamptons (sort of like giant
Snipes, see photo above) which he had never seen before but which had a
fine fleet here, all of them seemingly well sailed and certainly very
well looked after. And a friendly bunch they were, too, not even
flinching when, after accepting their offer of a beer (above), I
confessed I was not a Hampton but a Wayfarer, albeit a very thirsty one!
