Finally, a
picture of Frank Pedersen and Sarah (4270)
Alas! We have no picture of Julie and Nick (above) being second Wayfarer across the finish line where they discovered that the RC had a sense of humour: As Nick and Julie were about to cross the finish line, they heard the usual warning to the scorer: "Wayfarer 864 ..." The word "over!" then came as expected, but was followed, after a pregnant pause, by a surprise: "early!!" Some of us probably thought this was more hilarious than others. |
