home from the sea
And the rider home from the road.

(with apologies to Robert Louis Stephenson)

We had a great time at InZane.  The trip home (two days) was largely uneventful with only about five to ten miles of light rain.  Yesterday was hot but today topped out in the lower seventies.

I enjoyed interacting with VRCCers and was very pleased to see the community act in support just like a community should.

Perhaps next year will be just as fun.

Perhaps????   Obviously, we have higher expectations............  Wink
Glad you're home safe and sound.   But, to be honest, all that sailor talk confuses me.   Way too deep for this farm kid.   Yeah, I know that was long ago.   uglystupid2

LOL!  I was never a sailor (Heaven forbid!).  It's a quote from an RLS poem.   Smiley

P.S.  My father though was a Navy pilot.  When his childhood friend learned I had enlisted in the USMC he asked my dad, "Why did you let him do that?"
