Well Met, Indeed, at Lamen Bay, Epi — 17 Sep 2014

We dropped anchor late yesterday afternoon here in Lamen Bay on the island of Epi.  There were three other yachts here, one American, one British, and one without a flag.  Next morning, we thought we’d row around to meet the neighbors, as we haven’t had much of any for some weeks.  First off, the American boat.  Nice people, and they mentioned that the boat without the flag was also American, from Port Townsend, Washington.  We obviously had to go meet them next.  They looked awfully familiar to us, and we to them, and it took but a few seconds to recognize each other.  We have close mutual friends in Seattle, at whose house we all met once some years ago.
