CRUISING CLUB NOTES
A
Windy Spring Fling
April 17, PSA sailors held their first annual “end of winter” sockburn cookout and flea market at Oak Harbor Marina in Pasadena, MD April 17 (L-R): Dick Cusick, Larry Conforti, Mary Cusick, Joan Criscuolo, and Ed Criscuolo.
pril 17 found six boats full of valiant Annapolis Fleet Corinthians and guests kicking off on-the-water events for 2010 by racing a zigging course from Annapolis to Galesville in 20-plus knots of gusting wind from the northwest. When all was settled, Hannah Brown and Julian Bigden took first, Spring Moon and Dick Tudan shined into second, and Scrimshaw and Jerry Cully etched into third. Once ashore, dozens of friends and guests joined the racers via land yachts. In all, 58 Corinthians and guests gathered at Pirates Cove Restaurant for cocktails and to review the day’s experiences, and catch up with friends not seen near a boat since last fall. With the wind still howling, all parties moved indoors for a fine dinner of salad, steak, crab cakes, dessert, and requisite beverages. Our Spring Raft-Up May 8 at Clements Creek on the Severn River brought gale-force winds. Look for the Corinthian flag and join the fun (thecorinthians.org)! —by Tom Berry
