Albineers of BC Rendezvous Telegraph Harbor Marina

8 June 2013 Saturday
After an 0830 departure we head over to Conover Cove where some of the Albins have spent the night. We see them departing as we pull in and take our peek at this delightful cove. There is a dock, trails to hike and a small anchorage. This looks like something we might do on the way home.

We keep the other boats in view as we head for Telegraph. This will be a fun stop over to meet new Albin owners and see lots of boats.

The gathering was wonderful and Shatoosh and Pashmina were big hits with the group. We were the only American Albin there. We met so many wonderful owners, the dinner was very good which was prepared by the marina staff; bbq hamburgers, Cesar salad, dessert. This was our most expensive stop over; $CA- 43 for moorage, 3 for a shower, 3 for ice, 16 for dinner. The friendships, the wonderful array of people and their boats make an Albin Gathering a must... What fun! I failed to get a photo of 2 important people in the Albineers. Iris and John Down. They plan the events and make certain everyone is welcomed and cared for. Thank you both for all your years of service to the club. You are both dear to my heart and very special people.
