April in Marco, first rendezvous of the Florida GIPSY group (Gulf Island Packet Sailing Yachts.) See www.florida-gipsy.com for more information.

More than 40 owners, mates, and friends attended the first GIPSY rendezvous.

Meeting location was the Marco Island Yacht Club.

A welcoming party Friday night including cocktails, dinner, and guest speakers.

The weather cooperated so we could use the outdoor areas of the club for the reception.

And a beautiful sunset signaled our transistion to the evening events

Following dinner and Earl Blackwell of IP speaking, donated prizes were awarded.

Saturday dawned with a morning breakfast on the beach followed by boat visits.

A planned dinghy excursion was organized.

As part of the dinghy excursion, a bird sanctuary was visited. Don't be downwind!

Time to stop for lunch.

Box lunches on the beach.
