Thanks to Smokey & Laurie we have some nice pictures from the Coyote Point Destination Cruise.

Islander fans,

The Coyote Point Rally was confusing but fun. There was an e-mail snafu which had people showing up a couple of hours early wondering where everyone was at and where we were supposed to meet. We eventually figured out enough about what was going on to collect everybody together for a start except for John, who I am still not sure where he started, but he managed to make it to Coyote Point Just fine.

The rest of us started a little late, but game to go. It was a nice ride down to Coyote Point with a couple of lead changes in a nice light building breeze. Finding the finish mark was another fun time with people not finding it easily. Windwalker, Zingara and Serenity were the season racers in attendance. For the racers this was designed as a fun race that counted but given the various issues and snafus we are not going to count it toward the season totals.

John, Nancy and Riley, Bob and Maria, Smokey and Laurie and grandson, my fantastic crew Roger and Rebecca all managed to make it for the cruise. Windwalker and Zingara had other important obligations and headed off after the race.

We had one lost sheep in Bob and Maria (Bella Luna,) who thought it would be fun to cruise all the way down to Redwood City before coming back to Coyote Point. They did eventually make it with a wonderful story to tell.

As with last year we had a nice meal and fun prizes for those present. Bob and Maria got the fun wild wine bag, John and Nancy, in honor of his birthday and renowned love of martinis, got a Martini Special bag. Smokey, Laurie and Grandson had a tough choice between a Wine Connoisseur and Beer Heaven. After some debate they chose the Beer Heaven. So Serenity ended up with the Wine Connoisseur bag. You will have to ask those present how much fun it was. It is never a bad thing to get together have a drink and tell tall tales after a day on the water.
