A Toast:
To 100 Years of
Light! |
Ralph Walke of Dewey Beach and 93-year-old
Emma Charske of Sun City, AZ, join in a champagne toast
celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first lighting of
Harbor of Refuge Light Station. Nearly 100 people boarded
three vessels chartered by the Delaware River & Bay
Lighthouse Foundation for the 2008 edition
of this annual photo cruise around the two lighthouses off
Lewes. |

|
Foundation's cruise boats --
Capt. Ted Moulinier's Angler, Pirate King, and Indian --
rendezvous at Harbor of Refuge Light Station for the celebration. |
|
|
To commemorate the
100th anniversary of the first lighting of the first
"permanent" Harbor of Refuge Light, cruisers made a
champagne toast "To 100 Years of Light", blew bubbles,
and sang Happy Birthday. |
|
|
Although the sunset was
pretty thin, cruisers were grateful that predicted foul weather
didn't materialize....and photography was rampant. |

Party organizers Sandra

Ruth Africa (with bullhorn) get cruisers ready for the
festivities. |
