June 22 was a busy day at QCYC. It started with a Marine Sale, where members donated items from their boats or lockers, with profits going towards the Learn to Sail program. We picked up a new anchor, sold the old one, and bought a beautiful sextant. Now we just have to learn to use it.
Joe and Lynn were going to come for a sail, but it was raining heavily until about 3:00pm. They came for a visit, and stayed for Lobsterfest, where Joe ran into someone he had once curled with. The band which played on the lawn during dinner was great, and helped get the party started for the after dinner band in the Great Hall.
Summer solstice fell on a Friday this year, so Ed and I headed out for a sail after work, to enjoy the longest day of the year. The weather was great and we got a few hours out on the water. We then toasted the arrival of summer with a sip of rum, with Ken, Deanna, Eriks and Jacqui on Wild Jasmine.
