DelMarVa Preparations
Arrived in Annapolis. Making preparations for departure on Shaboom for the 2013 DelMarVa Rally. Let the good times begin!
Small World
It’s a small world amongst Westsails. Could be because of their legendary legacy or the fact that only around 1200 of them were ever built (or both).
