Heading Out for a Sail

            Dad, rowing Aunt Jean and Uncle Charlie out to their sailboat.

It was heavy, slow, and needed a strong breeze to move it, but it could seat the whole family for a sail. Uncle Charlie sailed it around the bay for several more years after this picture was taken, and then traded it in for a smaller and faster sailboat a 505). He raced that one around the bay (and in some actual races) for a decade or so, before trading it in for a larger, slower, but more family-friendly gaff-rigged catboat. 

He and Aunt Jean don't sail any longer, due to age, but I have no doubt that he misses it.
