The Nonsuch Motto is "Strive Mightily On The Water . . . Eat And Drink As Friends"

Friday June 8 & Saturday June 9 in Watch Hill RI & Block Island RI. Thanks to Jack Lombard's able help and liason with Off Sounding Club, 19 boats were registered to sail with the 100 other entries. 3 more boats 'sailed-in' to Block Island. Jenny Lombard did a great job organizing it and 50 of us gathered at Ballard's for a fun 'lobstah dinnah' Saturday after the awards ceremony. Some good partying ensued back aboard the boats.
