Any of you up in Maine planning to come by Nantucket on your way south???

Hope to see you sometime between August 30 and September 2nd!

We had an excellent get together last night for our Nantucket Rendezvous with the following boats in attendance:
s/v Watercolors – Charlie – Outbound 44
s/v Por Dos – Mark, Marta, Alec and Roan – Catana 48 (OCC)
s/v Brizo – Pat and Stuart – Discovery 55 (OCC)
s/v Wyschbone – Cindy and Jeff – Oyster 53 (OCC in cognito)

It’s clear I have to do something about my promotional skills – not a one of the OCC boats was aware of the Rendezvous ahead of time – but we managed to get them all together with a little dingy work over the past couple of days – inviting Brizo and Por Dos… We were not aware that Wyschbone was an OCC boat – because they were flying incognito – and despite the bold talk last night, I still don’t see a flying fish atop their mast as promised!!! Fortunately, Brizo was in the know and invited them along – great company…

Today’s event is a visit to the Nantucket Distillery – hopefully we’ll see some of them there…
