BLISS Rendezvous 2007
July 6 thru 8th, 2007
Block Island, RI |
|
This year's BLISS Rendezvous was held in
Block Island, RI on July 6 thru 8th. We would like to thank our major
sponsors Hellier Yachts and Eastern Yachts, as well as Island Packet for
all the support!
Yachts started arriving in the Great Salt
Pond as early as Tuesday to get the best spot in the harbor. By Friday
eighteen boats had arrived and the crew went ashore to enjoy dinner at
the Oar. Just to make things interesting, as dinner was being ordered a
squall came through, sending whitecaps and 42 knot gusts through the
harbor. All was well with the Island Packets both moored and anchored.
Some less fortunate boats landed on the beach.
Saturday morning brought a class on
cruising spinnakers and sail trim given by Vin Petrella of Hellier
Yachts Sales. Most of the captains and crew attended. After the talk a
few Packeteers boarded Kevin and Anne Grace's IP 370-01, Tiller the Hun,
to get some practical sail trim lessons from Vin. The rest of the day
was spent touring the island and shopping. Saturday night the group
gathered at the National to have dinner and to hear a great presentation
by Michelle Boulay on " Leaving the Shore Behind". There were
raffles and give-aways for each boat.
Next year's site was disclosed as
Greenport NY on Long Island's north shore. Stay tuned. Of anyone has
suggestions for activities at the next rendezvous please forward them to
ganizers@blissrendezvous.com. For the next get together Al Theurer
and Kem Vassallo will be working the details. Both Craig Roser and Al
did a great job on this BLISS Rendezvous. Thanks to all who attended and
we hope to see you again next year!
