"Larry" sailed his yacht into Portland Harbor today

I had the great pleasure of meeting long time PMWF member "Larry" & his lovely wife Sue today. My wife, Betsy & I met Larry & Sue this morning in Portland Maine & spent a few hours together! We started in downtown Portland with a visit to the local watch shop, "Swiss Tyme", where Larry was quite the WIS Jedi as he confidently persuaded the proprietor to demagnetize his new Breitling - no muss no fuss - For the rest of our time together Larry was comparing accuracy against my quartz Orsa Pro Diver & we think demagnetizing did the trick

Then it was off to my favorite tourist spot, "Portland Head Lighthouse" in Cape Elizabeth (first place I took "flat reto" too). It was the perfect Maine day, mild with a warm sun & blue sky. OK, lunch time, and off to the "Lobster Shack" for fresh haddock (Fish & chips) atop the granite shore overlooking the sea -- very nice!

Then, back to Portland for a beer & farewell -- I showed Larry my watches and throughout our time we did the WIS thing & as per usual the ladies chatted -- Perfect LOL!

Sorry for the lack of shots, & I suspect Larry will post more on his return -- A fantastic day, and once again reaffirms my appreciation & belief that it's the participants that are the lifeblood & the watches merely the vehicle that brings us together. Hmmm, may sound a bit redundant, but, you know what I mean LOL!

Here's a couple pics! Long live the PMWF!
