Tolchester and return
 |
|
 |
It was partly couldy that day, you can see the sunbeams.... |
Papillion and Southern Cross make their way past Harte-Miller Island |
Papillion is looking good in her position behind Cheri Lynn |
 |
 |
 |
Southern Cross with guest crew John Kittka aboard |
Captain Don tries to say cool underway |
Those clouds looked awful dark from time to time... |
 |
 |
 |
The guys all stood at the bar waiting (and waiting) for service |
While the ladies sat under the shade waiting for their drink... |
Fleet Captain Mark Rapkins took a quick, stealthy dip in the pool to cool off (not being a slipholder or renting a slip, but we won't tell) |
 |
 |
 |
Terri Musto has Joe Rolfes, Mark and Donna Rapkins intensely interested in her story |
Seems like everyone is there; but where is John Kittka? |
There's John Kittka! He nicely went back to the bar to get additional drinks. |
 |
 |
 |
The gang enjoyed their various pre-dinner drinks! |
Now seated in air conditioning, the Rapkins and the Mustos are concentrating on Don Conner's explanation | One, single table for dinner.... |
 |
 |
 |
| On the way back from dinner, we stop to look over the water at the Western Shore..... | A full moon, a clear sky, a freshening breeze...a recipe for a stellar cruise! | John Kittka stops to chat with Mark Rapkins as Mark prepares Papillion for departure. |
 |
 |
 |
| On the gas dock, Cheri Lynn's fluttering burgees tells the crew she's ready to sail home (and the moon's not bad either!) | Dear, do the light's work? You're just NOW checking that out, Mark? |
The photographer's effort to capture the moonlight on the water from the stern of Cheri Lynn. It doesn't take the place of being there, though... |

Cheri Lynn took the opportunity to fly her spinnaker when the winds dropped. |
