La Jara Cruise -- July 5-6, 2006

(Click on pictures to enlarge)



We had a great time La Jara Cruise - our first to organize as Cruising Commodores. We had 4 sailboats; "Windrose" (David and Janet), "Merry Jo" (Dick and Mary Jo DePriest), "Domani" (Randy and Kristen), "I'm Serious" (Kari and Perry Pepper plus Kari's sister and friend Kevin) and one major power boat (I don't know if the boat had a name but it belonged to Sebastian and Elizabeth - friends of the Peppers).

The day began slowly and ended slowly with virtually no wind except for a nice gentle breeze for a few hours in the afternoon. Therefore we did a LOT of motoring. The sun shone all day for great swimming and not a rain drop in sight.

Dick and Mary Jo knew of a great little spot up La Jara Canyon where we rafted up later in the afternoon. No anchors - just tying up to trees in the water.

Good food was shared by all and the Power Boat became the Party Boat with plenty of dancing, led by Kari and her sister.

The morning brought another sunny day with a gentle breeze in the AM (dying once we were all trying to sail). Again good food, lots of conversation, lots of laughs.

Hope to see you on the next cruise.
