Towing a sailboat
Between 1909 and 1975, my family operated Camp Wyanoke for Boys in Winter Harbor. Sailing in Winter Harbor was one of our most popular, and frequent (daily) activities, and weather was always a concern. Wyanoke was very fortunate to have excellent neighbors in Winter Harbor, and my Dad used to visit these neighbors to make sure the relationship stayed friendly. On more than one occasion, the weather changed almost instantly, and our sailors were forced to see refuge at a neighbor's dock for safety sake. Neighbors who are boaters make great neighbors. One of my Dad's favorite sayings was "Be alert for a weather change". How true.
