|
.....
|
 |
| Thursday evening:
Another welcoming party at the club is being enjoyed by USWA Commodore, Jim Heffernan, and his son, Mark. ........ |
 |
| Making sure her guest,
Uncle Al, is properly looked after once again is Karin Cowperthwait :) ........ |
 |
| Friday morning: Lee
always makes us breakfast unless there is a conflict with his God Squad
duties. ........ |
 |
| This year Sarah has brought
her daughter who is soon ... ........ |
 |
 |
| ... the Chester River. ........ |
 |
| Frank and Sarah (r) duel
with Jim and Mark Heffernan in perfect weather. ........ |
 |
| Frank pursues Tony Krauss
with a relic: the tiny spi the European W's were limited to until 1978. ........ |
 |
|
2008 was also
the year the USWA hosted an International Rally for the first time - at
Hermit Island in Maine. With quite a fine sailors having come over from
the UK, the Netherlands and France, Frank and Sue (sunglasses)
very kindly drove three hours from Brooklin to bring W4270 for us to
use.
........ |
 |
 |
| Add the sails lon loan from
Tony Krauss' W276 and UK Wayfarer magazine editor, Ray Scragg and wife, Jill, were soon out on Casco Bay which is for all intents and purposes the Atlantic. ...... |
 |
| Landing on Elm Island. Ah,
the adventures Frank was missing by refusing the cruising!! ...... |
| 2010 |
 |
| After an off year in 2009,
the Wayfarers not only returned in 2010, they brought some Rebels (l)
with them. And Frank (r) had finally completed the last Wayfarer kit boat ever built and W8705 was making her debut here. ........ |
 |
| The River Race was a mostly
light-air affair. Sarah was unable to come east this time but Tom
Fulton filled in fine.. ........ |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Saturday: A fine,
warm, breezy day - a bit of a challenge for Richard Watterson who made
his debut as Uncle Al's crew. ........ |
 |
 |
| Frank and Tom ........ |
 |
 |
| Karin and Lee await the
sailors' return on Saturday afternoon. ........ |
 |
| Saturday's sailing has made
the SI's a tad tough to decipher for Uncle Al the next morning. ........ |
 |
| Sunday was a less
boisterous day. ........ |
 |
 |
| Sue had a guest with her as
we returned from Sunday's racing. ........ |
 |
| Jim and Frank display the
prizes won by Frank and his absent crew. ........ |
 |
| Uncle Al present Frank with
his green flag for having been the Most Improved in our
fleet at this year's regatta. |
