First 2012 Sailstice Photo arrives

Dave Roach was just out cruising with friends for Summer Sailstice when it dawned on him....and then this nice picture emerged.  Dave passed this on, 'Here is a photo of my boat taken from a friends nearby boat. A squall was just passing through prior to the start of our sail. We were hunkered down below waiting for it to pass when we saw multicolored light streaming in thru the ports. We didn't know it at the time, but we were at the actual end of this rainbow. We're still tearing up the floorboards looking for the pot of gold.'

Name: Dave Roach,
Port: Sagamore Yacht Club, Oyster Bay, NY
Vessel: “Hibernian’…a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2
Date: June 21, 2012

Just for fun, Dave passed on a second picture from a few years ago - not quite as relaxing a moment!  From Dave, 'the second attachment was taken a few years ago of a waterspout touching down just about 300 yards from my moored boat. Not a sailstice 2012 picture, but a cool shot.'
