Chef Dave prepared 20 omelets as WRSC members enjoyed mimosas at anchor on the Wye.
Two nearly cloudless days with light winds set the scene for this year’s West River Sailing Club's (WRSC) Memorial Day Cruise. Boats came from Herring Bay, West River, Annapolis and the Magothy, extracting what they could from the variable winds. With a favorable weather forecast, we set a raft of what totaled to be eight of the ten participating club boats.
M/V Otter dug in her anchor and was joined by Eleanor and Kennon Wilson along with friends Tom and Karen aboard Firefly, Maggie and Erick Chiang on Au Lapin Agile, Pat and Michelle Stadt on Jade, Joan and Peter Stogis with Emily the cat aboard Pilgrim, Rachel and Dave Dawson and ever faithful Callie aboard Cephas Dawson, Grant and Diane Woodside aboard Sablier, and Sandra and Stuart White aboard Marty and Leilra’s Last Call along with two Jack Russell’s.
Anchored nearby were Eileen and Dick Rosenthal aboard Some Day (placed 1st in the 2015 Elf Classic) and Susan and Greg Whalen aboard Sailin’ Whalen. We gathered aboard Otter, Firefly, and Last Call for drinks and an amazing variety of good eats which for many left little room for dinner. A beautiful star-filled cool night featuring Venus in the western sky made for a peaceful night.
Sunday dawned and we started the day with our now traditional lavish Brunch featuring Chef Dave Dawson’s omelets. Chef Dave prepared twenty omelets as we enjoyed Mimosas and all the trimmings that accompany a Brunch. The morning progressed with talk and watching those Jack Russell’s cavort in the water behind the raft-up. Later as a breeze stirred we broke up the raft so that folks could take advantage of the wind and get in some sailing. Thanks all for a great cruise!
