Corinthian Raft-Up Concert
M
ore than 20 Annapolis Corinthians and Philadelphia Fleet brethren anchored in Shaw Bay September 11 for a mighty fine concert by Them Eastport Oyster Boys and Calico Jack (below). It was an excellent late-summer day with perfect temperatures, a faint breeze, good food, and libations with which to enjoy the evening’s vibrations. Folks gathered around Henry and Pat Meneely’s INSSA, the concert-hosting boat, and dinghied over to raft in a large inflated cluster to hear the performances. The music resonated through slackened minds for much of the night, allowing the next morning’s serenity to remain undisrupted until coffee was brewed (thecorinthians.org). —by Tom Berry and Millie Tudan

A Beautiful Day on the Water
ovember brings thoughts of deep snow and sailboat winterizing to Tartan 34 Classic Association (T34C) sailors (above). Not what we really like to do, but we get it done regardless. Elsewhere, November is full of adventure and fine sail-filling winds. Take the Canary Islands, for example. Our favorite Hamburg sailor, Jürgen Mohrmann, is currently poised in Lanzarote, watching the last of the Atlantic hurricanes head west. His trip to Barbados will start this month (t34classic.org).—by Grace Holt
