President Day Week End Zaf in Marathon

It's never too late to post an entry.
The President Day Week-End Zaf in Marathon lived up to its reputation, with a little challenge weather-wise.
It started in great fashion with dinner at brother Sparky and Lori. Unfortunately (although fortune has nothing to do with it, maybe old age. . . . ) I had again forgotten my camera, so I have no pictures for that memorable evening, memorable not only for the induction of brother White water, but for the incredible quality of the food served. And this is coming from a frenchman !
The Chesapeake Bay table was there "en force" and we probably had the largest delegation, short of the host table, which has grown tremendously since Larry Jones en myself co-founded it back in the 90s. From the Chesapeake, in attendance were brother El Maestro and A.J., brother Piper and Maria, brother Upwind and June, brother Boats and Tricia, brother Cruz and Ann, and brother Brise-Galets and his bike. Brother Brumby and Susan, who are close neighbor from the Potomac table were there too.
On Saturday morning, it was golf, first in short sleeves and shorts, but I had to admit that a sweater was not superfluous. I won't tell you my score. I can only say that I did not slow down my playing companions too much and that I came back to the club house with one more ball than when I left.
Saturday night was the big event at the Cub House of the Golf Club, and again, food, drinks and entertainment (provided by Bobby Holloway) were great. Everybody had a great time and almost everyone paid at least one visit to the dance floor. Cecile, daughter of brother Ventre Jaune (Yellow Belly), captain of the Normandy table in France, took part in the production of the music as a drummer.
Sunday morning was even windier than Saturday and we had more than 35 mph wind, with storms to go with it. This was the time chosen for a bicycle ride with brother Backlash. Interesting ride, but we did not prolong it too much.
This was followed by brunch, with the now traditional Bloody Mary's and the buffet. Although we were by the entrance of the harbor, everybody stayed inside.
In the afternoon, brother Brillo took time to give Cecile her first golf lesson ! Enjoyable and instructive for those present.
That evening, we got back to Lori and Steve to finish all the food that they had prepared for the first night. And believe me, it certainly did not feel like left overs.
Finally, after I had a chance to be on the water on Charrette for a long sail around the corner of the canal, this was a final continental breakfast at Bubbles and Claudia, before departing for Sarasota where Ventre Jaune, Evelyne and daughter Cecile were staying with brother Goofy and Marge.
All in all, a full week-end, lots of fun, and certainly a great Zaf. As always, more pictures can be viewed in my photo album. Looking forward for next year . . .
