Cruising to BPYC

QCYC's second cruise of the season was to Bluffer's Park Yacht Club.  We've been to the Bluffs before, but never to this club.
We left on Saturday morning expecting to motor the short distance to Scarborough, but found enough wind to sail (slowly) for a couple of hours.  At some point, though, the engine came back on so we could get through the last couple of miles.

We were met by a couple of members who helped us tie up, then found us a slip rather than leaving us on the visitor's wall.  One fellow, on Hayat, had been at QCYC docked near us a couple of weeks ago.  We recognized him by his distinctive Dutch accent - just like listening to Ed's dad.  He showed us around the lovely club, and stayed around to help others coming in throughout the afternoon.

The crowd got together in the air conditioned clubhouse for appetizers, and then took the party outside as the weather cooled off.  It was JC's birthday, so cake was the order of the day.  With so many great apps, we didn't even bother with dinner, but enjoyed visiting with friends.

Ed and I were off for another commitment on Sunday afternoon, so headed back home just as the others were gathering for breakfast.  We did motor on the way home, but I think those who left later probably had a good sail back.
