http://daryld.com/gallery/main.php http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0515.jpg.html 38 So, Buffy darling, ready to sail? http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0516.jpg.html 41 Ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated by lift bridges. It's still the same now. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0517.jpg.html 43 Here's Marimba! She's a fairly new 34' Catalina fully outfitted with all the oak trimmings underneath. Mmmm. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0518.jpg.html 45 "So, sit right back and you'll hear a tale..." http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0521.jpg.html 47 Here we all are! From left to right: Joe, Bill, Steve, me, Dave, Ken, and Peter in front. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0522.jpg.html 49 Ken got to be the lucky man to take us out of the pier. Aside from the three boats we hit, he did a pretty decent job! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0523.jpg.html 66 The mainsail is up. Umm, now what? http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0524.jpg.html 68 It was such a beautiful day... I think this is the point where Bill's jib got floppy. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0525.jpg.html 70 Ken was testing just how far we could heel. Let me tell you, we all appreciated it! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0526.jpg.html 72 We finally got the boat heading in the right direction and really started cruising. So awesome! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0527.jpg.html 74 Here's Peter navigating for a little while. We all started singing the Gilligan's Island theme song as loudly as possible. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0528.jpg.html 76 Guillermo is at the helm! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0529.jpg.html 78 We had to do a constant change of power, and here we are trying to make sure we don't lose anyone overboard. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0530.jpg.html 80 "Ooohh, keep the arrow out of the squares..." http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0531.jpg.html 82 Here I am, looking three sheets to the wind. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0532.jpg.html 84 Dave was making sure the sails were still there, and Bill could care less. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0533.jpg.html 86 Isn't this hat the best? Captain Whitey had the most interesting outfits on board. Hey, where'd that Liza Minelli costume come from? http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0535.jpg.html 88 Ken, Steve, and Whitey are doing an excellent job as ballasts. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0536.jpg.html 90 Forget the captain's hat, it's all about the rain gear! I can't believe how stupid I look in that hat. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0537.jpg.html 92 Whoa! The sea surge was rising so Bill and I had to navigate through the rough stormy seas as best we could. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0538.jpg.html 94 The man who made this sailing event all possible, Joe Pasquarelli. We owe him BIG time! http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0539.jpg.html 96 I feel like I'm hogging all the camera time. But, really, who looks better in the yellow hat? http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0542.jpg.html 98 Steve navigating once again, with Joe giving some helpful advice - "Don't hit anything." http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0543.jpg.html 100 Us, singing the lyrics to The Girl from Ipanema while riding the waves. http://daryld.com/gallery/v/sailing-on-lake-ontario/DSCN0544.jpg.html 102 Bill, chillaxin'.
