  • 1954 pocket runabout (make TBD) in Annapolis Harbor out for a lovely Sunday morning cruise
  • Miller Time on Forked Creek
  • 2006 Sailfish 2660 CC on her way to her new Eastport hoe

Around 9am on Sunday morning we set off for Bread & Butter Kitchen in Eastport. They have transient access at the end of a dock on Spa Creek so two crew members hopped off to grab our order. We ate during a slow cruise of Spa Creek all the way back to the boat ramp at Truxtun Park. More on that later...

The cruise consisted mostly of high speed runs just to keep cool. After Spa Ck we headed up the Severn River, around St. Helena Island, and into Forked Creek to see the Severna Park Yacht Basin. Then on up the Severn to the sandbar and back home.

Then at 3pm, the Ericksons and I headed for southern Maryland to pick up the newly acquired 2006 Sailfish 2660 (twin Yamaha 150's). Kyle is an expert at maneuvering a trailer so recovery and getting underway on the road was fairly routine. The seller had a moment saying goodbye to his family boat and I assured him it would have a good home in Eastport.

BCI members Capt Dean and Capt Bill showed up at Truxtun boat ramp to greet us and assist with the launch into Spa Creek. They thoughtfully brought along a bottle of bubbly to mark the event. Maritime traditions run deep in Eastport, after all. Capt Bill accompanied me on the ride over to Back Creek where we toasted a few more times and got her secured for the night. There will be much more content centered around the CC in the days ahead. It was a great weekend.
