Organised by the crew of Tracer, about six yachts joined in a race for the slow boats, followed by a barbie. These photos were taken by one of their crew. We followed up with a barbie at Milan's shed.
Photos: Milan getting his new spinnaker pole sorted for Charlie ; Mike trying to thread a masthead jib halyard for Galatea ; milling around the start line are Charlie (giving Shemara a tow out) and Galatea ; Thelma in full flight ; Charlie ; Shemara and Thelma ; on board Tracer ; 3 pics of Shemara at Somes Island ; BBQ scenes (plus Mike and Craig looking like they're coming to trade for muskets).
I'll put my pics up when I find the cable for my camera!

Shemara is old but has good bones. Most of the work is in replacing corroded bits and pieces and prettying her up a little at a time. This blog might be of interest or it may not, mostly it is a record of work done and trips. It will be picture –heavy.
