Holiday 2021 4 W hen 61-year-old Westerly Marina, long a business on the Ossining Waterfront, throws a party, they throw a party. In late August Joe DeMarchis, one of the brothers, who is usually in the huge ships store called me and asked if I would take a photo of his extended family at a forthcoming gathering? His comment was, “be here at 5 PM and I will have everyone gathered in my father’s last production boat for a photo! Of course I accepted, arrived early and watched in amazement as A World of Food caterers, laid out an amazing amount of food and beverages for not only the DeMarchis extended family but a couple hundred customers as well. There were family members from all of the US who arrived just for this party. As you can see by the cover, I got lucky and caught them all in Arty DeMarchis’ last Tobin Craft. What was amazing was that this 24-foot boat, built in the 1960’s was soaked up for a day by placing water in it and then put in the water for the photo shoot. It hardly leaked at all!
