If Schooners Could Talk

oodwind is 20 years old this year. I read your wonderful Editor’s Notebook “On a Whim” (July page 12) to Woodwind, and the article made her reflect upon all the guests and crew that have crossed her decks over the years. No longer a teenager, she is much more reflective upon such matters. She beams with pride as she thinks of Susan, Russ, Joyce, Carolyn, Matt, and others who have sailed her, steered her, and have become excited about sailing because of her existence. As Woodwind herself put it so succinctly, “What a joy to be a 74-foot Stradivarius that sings upon the water!” Many Thanks.

First Sailing Experience
annah is five. This was her first experience on the Olsen 29 Priority One on the Patuxent River with her mom, dad, and a friend from California. Her dad Brian, I think, was seven or eight when his first experience was the Wolf Trap race. Starting them young gets them hooked.
