Our compliments to Norma Stumpp for these fabulous pictures. What and experience to visit the boats being maintained in S. Baltimore, and then on the water as they leave on their North bound leg.

What a sight are these colorful greyhounds of the
sea: their huge canting keels, low profiles, and scant amenities.
Seems exciting. I bet they are glad when it's over. |

Visits to these boats in Covington were often rewards
with an on-board tour. The crews were very friendly. The best time to
go was during the day when every one else was at work. |

Notice the crush of spectator boats behind. One misstep
could be disastrous. |
Loafing along. The spectator boats were hard-pressed
to keep up. |
Norma & Bruce's hosts for the day. |

Well, what would you expect from power
boaters? |
This is my preferred job: NOT! |
The colorful and interesting sails were worth the price of admission alone. |
