This is a casual, social event in which members of our yacht club show up at 6pm and just go out and play on the water. The purpose is to invite others onto your boat or to be invited onto someone else's boat. <br /><br />After a few moments of discussion, it was decided that our twelve participants would be split between the two largest boats, Georgetown III and Sunshine. <br /><br /><IMG style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481963671463177330 border=0 alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPY6h0orHI/AAAAAAAAAAU/DkHhCLI4m3k/s320/Jun+8+OPB+hoist+2.jpg"> <A href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPY6AzNsfI/AAAAAAAAAAM/bPx5sFeFuJg/s1600/Jun+8+OPB+Sunshine+leaves+mooring+2.jpg"><IMG style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481963662598844914 border=0 alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPY6AzNsfI/AAAAAAAAAAM/bPx5sFeFuJg/s320/Jun+8+OPB+Sunshine+leaves+mooring+2.jpg"></A> <br /><DIV>The weather was spectacular. <br /><br />Bright blue skies, few clouds, low temperature and just a hint of a breeze.

What a treat! Yes Richard, the Entertainment Award for the evening goes to you and your crew.<br /><br /></P>If your math skills are pretty good, you will notice a small change here at Stepping Stone. Yes, now We Are Three. Not one of ours, but our few moments in the evening were a shared joy. <A href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPjCFYg_uI/AAAAAAAAABs/4YXWpeZjUlk/s1600/Jun+8+then+there+were+3+FULL.JPG"><IMG style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481974796384272098 border=0 alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPjCFYg_uI/AAAAAAAAABs/4YXWpeZjUlk/s320/Jun+8+then+there+were+3+FULL.JPG"></A> <A href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPjDDzQGZI/AAAAAAAAAB0/e2JANVfN43A/s1600/Jun+8+out+by+Stepping+Stone.JPG"><IMG style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481974813139409298 border=0 alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPjDDzQGZI/AAAAAAAAAB0/e2JANVfN43A/s320/Jun+8+out+by+Stepping+Stone.JPG"></A> <br /><P>Our evening ended with a lovely sunset.</P><A href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPlcHHXIiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/tFqmm1ek5uA/s1600/Jun+8+OPB+sunset.jpg"><IMG style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 178px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481977442549047842 border=0 alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPlcHHXIiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/tFqmm1ek5uA/s320/Jun+8+OPB+sunset.jpg"></A> <A href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPmG2dpjxI/AAAAAAAAACE/eZLW-PDJlPo/s1600/Jun+8+George+at+helm+5+sunset.jpg"><IMG style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481978176813502226 border=0 alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eaM1UUPabVw/TBPmG2dpjxI/AAAAAAAAACE/eZLW-PDJlPo/s320/Jun+8+George+at+helm+5+sunset.jpg"></A> <br /><P>If you were not there, you missed a great evening!
