[Sloop Scoop 2012] homestretch

[Sloop John B]

Greetings all

It's been great to be on the boat again and to see some friends I 
haven't seen in a while.  The sunsets have been beautiful, and the 
breezes have been very welcome in this heat. It is great therapy.

Today I joined Gordon's family and we scattered Gordon's ashes in Lake 
Michigan, joining his brother Arne, my canine first mate Cap'n Jack, and 
many other Jackson Park sailors as guardians of "his" lake.  It was a 
beautiful day, and we sailed to his favorite buoy. Although there never 
really will be closure, this is the best ritual we could have had.

Tomorrow afternoon I plan on sailing again, if the storms hold off.  I 
hope to make it out one weeknight this week, and for a sunrise sail on 
Friday morning.  I drive out the DC later that day.

I'm still planning on coming the weekend of August 11th and Labor Day 
weekend, so keep in touch if you'd like to visit with me and sail on the 
Sloop.
