We dropped by Toogood Pond this afternoon.  Boats and people who showed up:
- Guy with his North Star (blue) sailboat.
- Paul with his Coast Guard utility boat.
- Andy with his floaty flying thing.
- Jan with two of his high speed but small rescue boats.
- I brought my sailboat and a 32" destroyer.  The destroyer's first float in about 20 years.  I counted the dust rings. ;)

The strong but swirly winds were great for the sailboats.  A gust blew the balsa deck top off my destroyer. 3 boats did their work to push it back into the launch area.

Photo report:

Nice day!

Thank you for the pictures Frank.
The blue sailboat is actually a Kyosho Fairwinds.
The name came with the boat...  ???

My guess is that the « flag » sailboat, a Starlet, will be ready by next week for its first sail since major repairs, fingers crossed.
