Maggie Lay Day

Another glorious day, no wind. Everyone emerged slowly, and we had a lazy breakfast of croissants and coffee and we discussed the days festivities. Most of the crew were going to head to picnic bay to view the beer can regatta, but Pete and I were going to stay at the boat. Pete ended up […]
