The Westsail Rendezvous

Jacksonville Beach, FL
30 17.34 N 081 25.11 W

For the first time in five years, we managed to get ourselves to one of the Westsail rendezvous. There are several such rendezvous on the East coast and several on the West coast every year. Always before though we were somewhere else on the appointed day.

Friday was the preliminary and most of the people have yet to arrive. Nevertheless we had a great evening in the cockpit of Trouvere, a Westsail 43, with our new friends Charley, Paivi, Dave, Chris, Pam, Fergus and Carol. Most activities happen today, Saturday.

Of course Murphy's law rules. Just one hour before arriving at this marina a splendid south wind came up. It will continue all weekend. It is the perfect wind window to make a dash for Beaufort, NC. Oh well, that was rather predictable. No?
