Hi Uncle Al,

While reviewing the pictures of the rally (Nice captions, by the way) I couldn't help thinking when I saw the Elm Island pictures that most of us were probably thinking along the lines of: "How the hell do I keep upright and clean on this slippery stinkin stuff?" Where a true French person might think: "Alors! Fruits de Mer!" Or in plain English: "Food!".  What about Les Canadiens? Food or slippery?

Cheers,  Ton

Al's note: Don't ask me, Ton! I don't eat "green stuff".



Looks like Bill and Margie will also lunch aboard and resist the fleshpots of Elm Island.

André and Jill make their approach from ...

... the south.

The welcoming committee: Gary (l) and Tony

A much nicer spot indeed!

During his explorations, Gary Hirsch got us some great shots of our anchorages.
