Marc- Sue, Stephanie and I are on board this weekend for the annual Tartan 34C event. We did enjoy dinner last night aboard John and Mindy's Coquina and a great breakfast this morning under the tent at the RSYC. It was fun to see our sailing friends again. We left our mooring at about 11:00 to sail North to Shelburne. This ended up being a motorsail trip but we did sail through the racing fleet gathered for the Diamond Island Regatta. We were warmly welcomed at the dock of the Lake Champlain Yacht Club in Shelburne. They later provided us with a free mooring for the night. Sue and Stephanie departed on the bikes for a trip to Shelburne Village. I remained aboard and gave some tours of the Lucy III. I also toured a few boats myself and was impressed with "Indian Summer". The boat looked none the worse for its transatlantic and Caribbean adventures. Sue and Stephanie returned just in time for dinner at the club to be followed by Richard's presentation about his sail to Europe aboard his vintage 1970 Tartan 34C "Indian Summer". An excellent presentation with humor and excitement as well. The best parts of Richard's tale dealt with his close encounters with whales and flying fish.
