LYNN AND BILL ABOARD

Lynn and Bill came aboard in the Baltimore Inner Harbor for a few days of sailing around the upper Chesapeake. After short greetings, we departed for the Magothy River. Bill took the wheel at anchor up and captained most of their whole visit, getting plain driving in when the wind was low during the voyage to St Michaels. Getting heavy weather sailing in when the wind was blowing a gale on the day we sailed to Annapolis. As you can guess sailing to Annapolis was upwind work.


Bill drove nuclear subs for us when he was in the service. The best we could do for nostaglia's sake, when he was underwater for months, was to get him into heavy rain with water running over the deck. It is hard to get to periscope depth with an Island Packet.
