To All - Summer solstice, full moon, and a warm summer breeze from the south at 8 - 10 mph. John Michael got Spirit launched today, and we put out an ABP to sail and meet Spirit coming down from Haverstraw. Awesome. Nine boats joined the flotilla, we toot-tooted Spirit as we met with air horns, and ended up on the patio with a full moon and warm summer evening. This is what the Boat Club is all about! Many thanks to Dave DeVries for running the launch until 10 pm! Happy summer solstice everybody. Welcome home Spirit! Lee luce Cruising Fleet Secretary
