Sorry to Miss the Reunion Party, But...

the 80’s when I lived in Everett. I had a sailing school there
and raced a lot in Seattle. One such year was with Jan Place
on Bottoms Up.
I was doing a delivery from Nanaimo B.C. to Florida
and missed the big reunion party. I was in Golfito, Costa
Rica, reading a copy of 48° North, May 2009, with her notice
about the party.
I emailed her and sent a picture of me holding up a
48° North while transiting the Panama Canal. It was a joke,
