Sis-in-law on deck

Linda Forster spent a week's vacation with us after a conference she attended in Victoria. The day we took her sailing was a real adventure: our motor quit in the middle of nowhere (and no wind) and we had to radio the coast guard for help. We ended up being rescued by a charming (if taciturn) fisherman named Mike, who hoped to have better luck catching something, having done his good deed for the day. Jon took this photo of us ladies on the high seas (Steve was below in the engine room, trying to make peace with the fuel filter)!
