A Wee Bit of Spare Time


Wednesday morning dawned only slightly windy, about 15, and eventually died to about 10. Everyone did fine and since only two sets had to be sailed, we were done around one. Brown, Yale and Boston College battled it out and since BC won the last B race, they won the regatta. Everyone went to hang out on the beach for a couple hours basking in the “warm” weather. The women got beautiful and played beauty parlor, eventually heading over to Ochre Court, Salve Regina’s 19th century mansion, where they enjoyed a delicious dinner, chocolate fondue, photoshoots, and pretending to be bridesmaids. All the other teams thought they were the most fun team of all!

Back at the house, everyone else ate burgers, roasted corn on the cob, pineapple, sautéed mushrooms and baked beans. Mary ate 2 burgers and 2 corn, but Mikey ate 3 burgers and Kirley ate 3 burgers and 1 corn. Most of all, Schmidty ate at least 4 burgers.


Thursday we had a day off so Rob, Kirley, Carrie and Christine went to the ICSA meeting while everyone else went on the Cliff Walk, a 3 mile walk along the ocean on a cliff past over 60 mansions. Then the group headed over to the International Yacht Restoration School where they toured a 110 foot schooner that was undergoing restoration, and most importantly everyone ate ice cream. The evening finished with all-you-can-eat crab and Flo's Clam Shack. Patrick, Kirley, and Mikey had 2 trays, but Rob had 3. Clearly we are being proactive about the heavy wind.
