The Rendezvous news: Thanks everyone for attending. For an informal mini-vous we had great attendance and a great time. The camaraderie at the Oar on Friday night sharing sailing stories and getting back together with old and new friends was enjoyable. The weather was fantastic for the whole weekend. Saturday night at the National brought all the crews together to have a wonderful dinner and cocktails. A few prizes were handed out and the conversation at dinner continued on into the evening. I want to thank Al and Conrad for there efforts. It was a great weekend.
For those of you that think ahead and would like to help out with organizing a BLISS rendezvous. (It would great on your resume:)) please send an email. WE are looking for a place to hold it and some volunteers to gather prizes and help with coordination of restaurants. So if you have a great harbor send the idea along.
