Fleet 10, Day 6

"No Stress" travelling southbound from the Bay Bridge

From Captain Sean's FB post, Day 6:

"Fleet 10 Cruise Day 6:  Ryan Cummings joined South Paw in the Magothy and Keith went back to No Stress.  Thursday morning, we got an early start to make it in time for the London Town tour. Ryan had the helm as we motored out of the Magothy, under the Bay Bridge, and around Thomas Point Light. We were making great time from a favorable current the whole way, so we put the sails up for a very, very slow sail toward the South River entrance. We motored the rest of the way into Harness Creek where the raft up was forming.  South Paw ferried eleven of us across the river to Historic London Town and Gardens. They modified the tour for us and their guide due to the extreme heat, so we were mostly in the two air conditioned buildings.  The highlight for me was when Aldo and Danny rigged up the 1800's lathe and actually had wood chips flinging off of the table leg. Because of the heat, there was no adult supervision in the carpentry building. A storm was threatening, so we raced back to get everyone on their boats before the rain. The storm just glanced Harness Creek, but South Paw had to circle around and wait for the rain to stop to reset the nine-boat raftup. We had a great pot luck dinner and swam off the boats."

Successful raft-up!
