2008 Bristol Rendezvous
The 2008 Rendezvous started on Friday, 2 August 2008 at Jamestown,
RI where we gathered at the home of Cdr Tom and Lt/C Barbara's
home, then went out to a local restaurant for dinner.
On Saturday, 3 August some sailed and some drove to Bristol
Marina and Colt State Park, where tents were erected and a feast
prepared. Some threatening weather didn't dampen anyone's spirits
at all, and the rain passed in about 15-minutes allowing the
group to enjoy a beautiful evening with clam chowder, steak
and chicken, corn on the cob, and a scrumptious dessert.
The following morning our hosts welcomed us aboard their boat for a wonderful breakfast and then it was, regrettably, time to leave.
Many thanks to our hosts Tom and Barbara, and to the many helpers who made the chowder, assisted with the cooking, and made the tents ready and packed them away afterwards. It was a memorable rendezvous!
