Do the frosty mornings have you longing for those warm days when Sirius pokes its snout up just ahead of the sun? Let’s take a short stroll back to the the dog days of summer, when many BCA members (30 boats and 78 people) gathered at Port Browning for the annual August Rendezvous, organized by Sue Chapman and hosted by our Vancouver Chapter.
Several photos were sent to Currents and it seemed a shame not to share some of them. More photos (and of higher resolution) can be found here [1].
The highly competitive blind-folded dinghy race.
Many folks participated in the blind-folded dinghy race; collisions were prevalent; the winners (Barb Peck and Bjarne Hansen) and second place finishers (Cindy Wang and Allan Berry) each received a 12V fan, donated by Jim Shohet.
Heather Marshall permitted the use of Tucana for a docking demonstration; David Vincent taught us a way to quickly release a line when springing off the dock.
Of course, there was eating. Left: Delicious oatmeal (made by Sue); Right: delightful pastries.
Some of the many lovely faces that could be seen at the August Rendezvous
