Wonderful Webster

enjoying Webster

Another favourite part of our cruising vacation, and the only thing we've done every single year, is our visit with Kathy, Ajay and Sara.  This year, Ajay picked us up in Sodus Bay because the strong west winds prevented us from sailing to Rochester on Friday or Saturday. Tania, David and Jessica also made the trip from Toronto.
We enjoyed the Webster Jazz festival before heading back to Kathy and Ajay's place for a great dinner and a bonfire.  The kids were catching fireflies, and Kathy brought out the makings for s'mores!

Sunday morning, Kathy kindly got up early and drove us back to Sodus Bay, so that we could bring the boat to Rochester with a favourable east wind.  The morning started quite calm, but within a couple of hours we were downwind sailing, and by the time we had to bring the sails down, the waves were getting pretty big.  We got a great spot at the Rochester Yacht Club near the clubhouse, and had just enough time to pick up a few groceries before the the crowd came over.

RYC diving board

The pool at RYC is a great place to hang out on a warm summer day, and this year, Sara had another new skill - jumping off the diving board.  Not to be outdone, Jessica, David, Ajay and Kathy all took turns too.
