Sailing season opens

No beaming sun looked down on members of the Aurora Sailing Club, nor was there the sparkle in the water or the zephyr in the breeze, when the opening day was held last month. Instead, the elements proved anything but kind. Not so recently, however, and because our opening day pix looked so drab, we attended later club events to ensure that this very popular summer sport got away to a good start.
