What a beautiful sight to see the WSSC fleet in a 5-boat formation
illuminated by the sun through a break in the clouds as I crested the
JRB lift span today! I was wishing for my camera and a traffic stop to
allow getting a classic shot of the event.....
Keep the faith,
John Perry
P.S. I wussed out and didn't launch the windsurfer....not enough wind!
(And 39 degree water also....)
