FOG Rendezvous Fall 2011

Once again a successful gathering of foggers.  Deer Harbor Marina was the meeting spot for the unofficial fall gathering - 4 boats, 2 US 2 Can., also attending without their boat ("Adventuress" is in Alaska) Art & Trish and former foggers George and Mary Lou.

Friday night was our famous appy evening and jovial get together aboard Ariidae followed by a bbq.

The good weather on Saturday morning lured us onto the water for an dinghy adventure...off to explore the Yellow Island Nature Preserve.

Captain tomorrow with his trusty chart, just to make sure we don't get lost.

Back to the marina for a yummy lunch 'carne asada' complements of Trish & Art - thank you so much! A perfect way to end our excursion.

Serious subject - safety

Afternoon safety seminar/discussion, many stories of near misses and what if's...?? Sailing single handed, life lines, life jackets, boarding ladders (Fishers are not easily boarded from the water!), were all topics discussed.  More safety discussions in the future, we all can use a reminder.........


Next -

 Dinner at the Deer Harbor Inn where we celebrated Steve's birthday with a yummy desert.
