NYYC Race Week 2022 – 5 Minutes of Sailporn
So many great memories of sailing in Newport, Narrangansett Bay and paties at Harbor Court. Miss it bigly 🙁

Lindisfarne were a bunch of Geordie lads (that's Northeast England to our American cousins) who had a few hits in the 70s. "Fog on the Tyne" reached number 1 in the UK in 1971. It reached it again in 1990 when Lindisfarne got together with Paul Gascoigne aka Gazza
Interesting bit of trivia: Lindisfarne's guitarist Ray Jackson played the mandolin on Rod Stewart's Maggie May.
