Captain Sean Stull, owner and skipper of South Paw, a Hunter 34 moored in Port Annapolis, invited a motley crew consisting of Bill Paviol, Guy Stewart and Murph. We accept Captain Sean at his word when he says we're the crew he can try new adventures with, as we've already done a bit of eclectic sailing and cruising.
As reported by Captain Sean on Day 1:
"Labor Day Cruise, Day 1: I drove down Thursday night, Bill Paviol, Warren Stewart (Guy), and Allen Murphy came down Friday afternoon so we could get a jump on our cruise to Baltimore this weekend. Right after work, we motored north and under the bridge. Once past Sandy Point Light we had enough wind angle to motor sail with the jib up to the Patapsco River. We made it into Bodkin Creek right at dusk and dropped the hook. We got the grill out for steaks and shrimp. It was a perfect night to anchor out with a cool breeze blowing through the boat."
