The morning of the day we were leaving out the narrow pass, this unfortunate fellow was off course. He managed to get off the rocks about six hours later with a lot of help from some folks with big outboard motors. It certainly put the fear of God in us for the trip back out the pass.
Mike and Gloria Peters of the sailing vessel "Windfree", with their three children, Ronnie (L), Lauri(M), and Mike Jr.(R). Mike and Gloria, now married fifty years are my heros. They take it all in stride and work it out. The celebration hosted by Ronnie, Lauri and Mike Jr. was wonderful .
Rene' served on the Free French ship Montcalm during World War II and saw action on "D Day". He also had a distinguished diplomatic career representing France as Vice Consul to Boston. I am honored to enjoy him as a friend.
Just two of my kind friends that stopped by to offer moral support during the refit. I missed pictures of Jean and Joan Proyet, Paul Thacker, Emma Louise Thornton and Mike and Gloria Peters that were and always are "there" for me.
