Sunday pics - 1
(mostly) by Uncle Al


Sunday brought us another eminently bearable day which we started out with a little pre-race socializing at the de Boers'.
...

The de Boers' Cocker Spaniel, Cassie, finds admirers wherever she goes.
...

A little Sunday morning fishing, anyone?
...

The Lasers seem all set to go but ...
...

... the Wayfarers seem to be a bit late in arriving this morning. But we did all eventually make it on time out to the race course where we ...
...

... got a lesson in relaxation techniques from this Laser sailor.
...

Sean Reilly and Kate Peske tune their Hampton for ...
...

... today's slightly lighter winds.
...

And who should we meet during our races once more but Lindsay.
...

Sibling rivalry in the Sunfish as ...
...

... Logan (77) is about to ...
...

... win a squeaker ...
...

... in front of sister, Lara.
...

In Wayfarers, it's another close one. Uncle Al's turn on the SHADES helm today, and he has her just in front of John de Boer (7351) and Tony Krauss (4105) whose crew, Mary Abel, has decided that in today's soft breezes, the spinnaker would be nice.
...

A relaxing run for John and Dolores
...

Ditto for Tony and Mary.
...

As we head back after three quick races, the herons ...
...

... remain on harbour patrol.
...

Another hot, sunny day makes it a refreshing pleasure for John (above) to wash the salt water off Silverfox after haulout.
...

Bob Tan (l) and Roger Link near the beach in their Lasers.
...

Breezes are picking up a bit as Hamptons, Ed and Laura Cassidy (724) and Tom Ballantine with Nancy Younan (710) head for the ramp.
...

Bryant McGann and Stewart Leith
...

Laser series winner, Mike Schmidt ...
...

... leads a pack (passel?) of Lasers towards the beach in ...
...

... a nice little puff.
...

Lots of nice shallow water and a nice, soft, sandy bottom: all part of the service at the Rock Hall Yacht Club.
...

One quick family trip for an A Cat before they're done for the day.
