    The scenery pictures are great – loved the rocks and cliffs at Covered Portage! I love Kerry and the food pictures! Also, everyone looks great in the group pictures.

    One of my favorite pictures is you taking a nap and the look on the guy’s face at Tamarac (blue shirt with arm around Don).

    Happy Safe Sailing!
