| Richard Watterson (above) woke up early Saturday
morning and decided he would
join the cruisers, Dick Harrington with Jane Korvers, Tom Goldsmith
with Uncle Al, and ... after all!! So Al left not only W3854 but also
his car at Richard's home in Hummelstown with a view to picking them up
in time to continue on to the Bayview One-Design Regatta June 1-2. ..... |

Wanderer for which he now has a tent from Hans Gottschling. Hans was
heard to mutter that this loose fit is what you get when you phone the measurements instead of letting Hans do his own measuring. ..... |

A lovely welcome for Uncle Al
from Stacey. Later in the afternoon, Al was moved to introduce Stacey
and her mom to the Dark and Stormy which
had to be mixed in a dark corner of the store so that I would not be
seen to be breaking Maryland law. Alas, neither of the two ladies liked
our favourite so that Al had to drink both of their drinks. They did
taste a tad strong. I eventually discovered I had been 151 proof rum
which likely explains Al's loss of memory from much of the evening ...
