This came tonight from an enthusiastic observer:
HI SUE AND JANE,
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY WE
HAVE HAD. AFTER CHURCH WE CHECKED ON THE
JOE'S POND WEATHER.
THEN WE CALLED BUTTURA'S
AND WENT TO THEIR HOME. WATCHED THE BEAUTIFUL COLORFUL
SAILBOATS. WENT FOR A PONTOON BOAT
RIDE. NEXT CAME A LATE LUNCH AT
BUTTURA'S. ANOTHER PONTOON BOATRIDE.
THEN DESERT AND WE NOW HAVE ARRIVED IN BARRE AT 8:30. CHARLIE AND LINDA
LIVENDALE WERE WITH US ALSO.
WE SURELY SAW LOTS OF
FRIENDS TODAY ! JUST A WONDERFUL DAY !
THANKS TO SUE BOUCHARD FOR
GETTING ALL THESE SUNFISH BOATS IN THE RACE. AND THANKS TO THOSE
THAT RACED ALSO.
HOMER AND MARGARET [FITTS]
The finish!
Yep, we were stopped by Auxiliary Trooper Abigail Serra for a boat inspection, (which we passed with no trouble), but it did delay us so we missed the finish of the race. Trooper Serra asked if we were race officials, saying she would delay the inspection until after the race, but we told her let's do it now. She was very pleasant - probably loves her job, being out on the water in the summertime - and she had lots of boats to inspect today. There were lots of observers on pontoon boats, and that's Doug and Billy Hamilton's woody shown above - great way to be on the water!! It was a fun day all around, and we hope there is enough enthusiasm so the races may continue in the future. More on that later.
