Sweetwater awaits, May 17 - 20.

This year the crew returns for a full four day cruise of the Chesapeake.
Sweetwater is a 50 foot, Jeanneau 50DS, yacht.  (In person it looks bigger than this.)


We depart as always from Annapolis on Friday morning after a pleasurable reunion of the crew on Thursday evening. the boat leaves at 8:00 AM (8 bells). Hopefully, the grog has worn off and the political and religious arguments have been resolved before departure. We do this better than Congress.

MEET THE CREW!

Nice parrot, Joe!

Captain Stuckie has set the course to include a visit to the fine deep water port of Cambridge for a Friday night arrival. This gives us a chance for a visit to the new lighthouse and a feast at one of the many brew halls. Rough housing and wenching will be the primary activity. (We only wish.)

Saturday will lead us to the distant port of Solomons on the Patuxent River.  Zanisher's Marina will welcome our presence.  More dining and drinking is on the agenda. Perhaps some pillaging will be in order, perhaps not.

Sunday takes us north to Herrington Harbor. Our return visit will place us at the table for more fine dining.  Splitting the check is always a challenge.

On Monday, we pass Thomas Shoal Lighthouse on our northbound voyage to Annapolis.  Last year we left with 7 and returned with a crew of 8. The year previous it was the reverse.  All and all, things seem to balance out and that  is good.

Here's a good looking couple that we don't know having a pleasant moment at Thomas Shoal Lighthouse.
