Many thanks to our Cruise Captain and Cruise Admiral, Don & Lynn. Behind every man is a successful woman. Thanks for a great cruise. We started out headed for Queenstown Cr.; but, found it too crowded for our 6 boats. We opted to head for Reed Cr. and happy we were. It was a great anchorage. Present were: Adventure, Cheri Lynn, Dyanna, Pallas Athena, Lady Z, and Warr de Mar. Second day was our old favorite Bodkin Cr. There we were joined by 3 other boats: Stargazer II, Wind Dragon, and Event Horizon The weather cooperated all weekend with winds each day and bearable temps. Monday morn brought a thick fog on the Bay. We made it across the shipping channels just before a big ship went through. Phew! Enjoy the pictures contributed by Adventure and Warr de Mar. |

| Roger was so excited to start the cruise, he couldn't get to sleep Friday eve. on Warr de Mar | Reed Cr. was a beautiful place with only a few houses, lots of trees, and good depth | This is the view from Reed Cr. through the entrance. It's tricky, but we all made it in. |

| Kevin and family enjoy their 1st cruise on their brand, spank'n new, C309, "Pallas Athena." A fine and pretty one she be. | With the Sun low in the sky and the cocktail hour upon us, Roger-That is ready to party. "Shiver me timbers," he says; and, "fill 'er up." | Sidney says, "Shiver me whatever. Methinks it's time for another dinghy ride." |
| Day two dawns and the Fleet makes preparations to get underway for Bodkin Cr. Actually, day two has well more than "dawned." We rarely get moving much before 11am. |  |
 |
| Underway on the Chester R. Not much wind out here today. But, we're hopeful. | Our Cruise Captains lead the way down the Bay. | |

| Roger says, "I'm sailing!" Just as in What About Bob | Capt'n John calls this "Babes on waves." Indeed, Capt'n John. More decorum please | Once on Bodkin, it's time to socalize with a gathering on "Stargazer II" |

| Doug & Zadi enjoy the scintillating conversation. | Don and Doug sure look the part of the confident captain, especially while at anchor (:>) | Jeff works on the windscoop on "Event Horizon" attempting to convince himself that he remembers how he did it last year |
