The BIG SAIL May 1-4

Some photos of the Big Sail of 2009. Selene embarked from Annapolis on Friday Morning around 8:00 AM. Tacking on the close reach until the turn at Tilghman Island , the crew made good speed. After rounding Tilghman Island, the steady wind allowed us to sail on a broad reach until the entrance of Cambridge Creek. We arrived around 7:30 PM. The drawbridge welcomed our passage. We slipped past Snapper's and Portside restaurants and tied off at Deep Harbour Condos Marina.
Diane joined us at Portside for a fine but slow dinner. It was a long day filled with fine sailing and camaraderie. It was good to see the crew back together again.
