Mill Creek & Ego Alley, Day 4

From Captain Sean:

Labor Day Cruise, Day 4:  For our final day of the trip we got started Monday just after 0800 to beat the lunch rush at Cantler's. Allen Murphy motored out of our anchorage in Deep Creek, then once out of the Magothy we unfurled the jib on a starboard reach from there to south of the bridge. We still needed the motor to do most of the work in the light  morning air. We went into Whitehall Bay, then Mill Creek, and were the only boat in the docks at Cantler's at 1100, although the restaurant was already hopping by land. Bill Paviol got a lesson in crab meat extraction from our waitress Tara, as well as the bib we requested for him.  Bill's Pussers mug had bounced overboard during the trip, so after lunch we decided to go into Annapolis and pick up a new one.  I had my first trip down Ego Alley and it was a successful run. We weren't allowed to temporarily tie off at Pussers so we got fuel at the Yacht Basin while Bill ran around to get the new mug. We unfurled the jib one last time, killed the motor and sailed out of Annapolis Harbor, around Horn Point and to the channel to Back Creek.  Back at Port A, the crew loaded up their gear and hit the pool for a while before heading back to PA. It was a cruise to remember. We covered 76.9 nautical miles over the holiday weekend and hit a lot of great spots to and from Baltimore.

Murph must enjoy sailing!

Bill demonstrates that Murph isn't the only one to enjoy his time aboard!
