The US Navy ship Big
Horn met us as we were exiting the Hampton Roads Channel. They
called on the radio to ask if we'd mind moving out of the channel -- we
didn't fight them on it! (8/30/05)
Under sail again
in the Southern Chesapeake. Some things just make you smile

Light marks the unseen dividing line between the Virginia and

time for crabbing in the Chesapeake. We took some time to catch our

If you've been
to the site before, you know I can't pass by Thomas Point Light without
another photograph. One of my favorite lighthouses. (9/8/05)
Island Packet
owners converged on Annapolis for another 'minivous' get-together at
Pusser's Landing. These are the photos I can share. I'll
have to ransom the others. (9/10/05)
Annapolis is a
special place, especially when you arrive by boat. This
year's sunrise photo is just one example of how magical it can be.

Being the lightest
person in the group always assures you a trip way up the mast for a
group photo. Claire Gabor won this year's honors. (9/11/05)
After our
minivous group photo, all the Island Packet Pets went to the local park
for a minivous swim. Max & Bailey shared their dinghy with
Sidney and Kelsey from 'Black and Tan'.
