A little Reminiscing

What a wonderful summer 2011 was! "Ellie" was launched in July and its hard to believe we had so many wonderful adventures in only half a summer.  The sailing season here is over, but as winter approaches we look forward to next spring, and more adventures to come, with great anticipation.  Ive gone through my photo collection and selected my favorites to help me reminisce.  I hope you will join me.
