DIYC Summer Cruise to Cape Cod
& The Islands 2009
I
hope you all enjoyed our Summer Cruise 2009 as much as I
enjoyed planning it for you. Although the summer weather
was not ideal, in retrospect it wasn't so bad for us.
First a hardy thank you to
Kate & Mike Parker for the fabulous coockout at their
house on Cuttyhunk! Also another thank you to junior
harbormaster Ben Cozzi who always, being there first,
arranged to save moorings at several destinations. And
to Joan Marcus for arranging transportation and
restaurant reservations in
Falmouth. And thanks to all of you for helping
and participating. To Al & Donna Branciforte thanks for
coming 2 if by land, all the way from
Ohio
with your Duck Prizes. It was fun.
A few thoughts: We experienced
my first FOG DELAY at the
Falmouth Commodores baseball game. Ran to
Chatham without seeing any of the south side of
the Cape. Monomoy Theater and Honk quacked us up.
Vineyard Haven worked out well ,with a tour under the
draw bridge into the pond beyond and of course dinner at
THE Black Dog Tavern. Saw the Katama Cut at
Edgartown. And 3 of us ventured into Lake Tashmoo
which was a first.
We were sorry to have lost
Asterion when Han & Edith headed home due to health
concerns. We wish Han a successful knee operation on the
28th. And also to Sea Wings and their difficulties. We
wish Bryson a
speedy
recovery from his finger injury and Sea Wings for
the loss of an engine. Frank, please keep us posted.
We were thrilled to pick up
Screwball with the Carses in Cutty and keep them with us
through Quissett. And we hooked up with Fusion and the
Salernos in Edgartown who came to a couple of
cocktail parties (the kids liked the Duckie Prize
Raffles).Come with us next year.
All in all, I hope you had a
good cruise, I know Ceilidh and crew did . Where to next
year???

-----------------------
To Pete and Ruth,
From the
last people still out on cruise (that would be us).
Thanks to you and everyone with us for such outstanding
company, great
cocktail party food, interesting conversations
and just plain FUN. You all were terrific. Pete you did
an exceptional job planning this trip. EXCEPTIONAL. So
much fun so well thought out and researched and so
active yet relaxing. Well done. I suggest a stop in
Newport
next year to see the Champion Gulls play.
Thanks,
Joan and Joel
