This weekend we had a solemn ceremony at the south end of the lake for those that we have lost during this past year. The temperatures co-operated, but the winds were up, which made it difficult.
Dan and I went with Peter and Angela aboard Gifhorn III. There were a large number of boats that left the harbour with "R-Tyme" leading the way and the rest of us following along.
Once they chose the appropriate spot and "R-Tyme's" anchor was set, each or the other eight boats, that followed along, set their anchors a safe distance apart. Normally we would raft together and be able to move from boat to boat and socialize. But for that you need really calm seas.
So, after the brief ceremony, we all meandered back to the marina, where everyone gathered at the gazebo for what we normally would have done out on the lake.
To socialize and share memories of all those that have passed in the past year. Scott McLaren, Bob Inkster, and Patricia and Keith Peirce.
FAREWELL AND SMOOTH SAILING!
