The bocce arena was built several years ago by SMYC volunteers. Veteran SMYC members, who have intimate knowledge of the court’s challenging terrain, have a decided advantage over newcomers. During play there is enthusiastic crowd participation from the (hot) bleachers and the (cooler) skybox seats, especially when players fail to toss the white ball far enough, and have to take the ‘Walk of Shame’ to retrieve it.
At the match we met Pat and Marcelle from the sloop Island. (Island comes from the Icelandic spelling of Iceland.) On Monday they invited us over to Island for afternoon refreshments. We had so much fun we almost had to go back to Blue Wing in the dark.
Looks like your kind of thing! Glad you are meeting a lot of people.
