New friends

With no wind, we motored to Rochester, going past the entrance to Irondequoit Bay, just to have a look.  Rochester Yacht Club was quite busy, but the dockmaster gave us a choice of slips.  We picked one that looked like it wouldn't be too hard to get in and out of, but the docked turned out to be VERY short.  A few minutes after we were docked, a National YC boat came into one of the slips which we had declined.  I walked around to invite them over for drinks, and it turned out that the boat beside them was from Etobicoke YC, so we invited them over too.  We met Marv and Kathy on Wet and Wilder (oops - no photo) from NYC, and Dave and Denise on Livin' Easy from EYC.  Turns out Dave works at Scotiabank, and deals with the department I just joined. 
Dave and Denise just purchased their boat, and were making their way to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a date with the customs broker.  The next day was rainy so we did some boat chores. We got another chance to see Ajay and Kathy for dinner at Schooners, and Dave and Denise were able to join us.
