The Corinthians Late Summer Sailing

The Annapolis Fleet of the Corinthians managed to eke out a few more good sailing events before the end of summer. To take advantage of the full moon, the fleet hosted a Moonlight Cruise that began on Friday August 19 in Eagle Cove off of the Magothy. Overnighters and day-trippers joined in for a raftup cocktail party followed by dinner and dessert onboard, which included a fiery birthday cake for longtime member Dick Tudan.
