Monday was a busy day at the 2008 Rendezvous, with a seminar on nautical history, a port-captain's meeting, the annual dog show, and lots and lots of wind (for the third day in a row).
Evening dinner was "on your own," but a large group assembled at Spider Bay for a bring-your-own barbecue and a salute to Rear-Commodore Bud Zalon, for his 80th birthday.
The evening ended with a sing-along, featuring GLCC artists.
The 2008 Rendezvous got underway in Little Current, July 12. Shown here is one of the late arrivals—Ted & Venetia Moorhouse on Fairy Tale, just arriving from the Chesapeake. More photos of Saturday's events are here...
The Dequesne Club facilities located in Norgate Inlet south of Britt, ON,. (see harbor report GB-40) burned to the ground last night. The fire started about 1:30 am, cause as yet unknown. Investigators will be on the scene today. The buildings have been a local landmark for over 100 years. Eight people were in the club, and all escaped.
