CRUISING CLUB NOTES The Moonlight Cruise That Wasn’t

##The full Corinthian raft in Swan Creek with the younger generation of Corinthians present.

here wasn’t any moonlight that is. The cruise was terrific. And minus the moon, the stars were magnificent. Some were even shooting to make the evening even more spectacular. But I’m getting ahead of myself... Cookin’ was the first boat to round Drum Point on the Wye and enter the anchorage. We had invited our friends Bryan and Chris Althouse with their children Evan (9) and Kieren (7) on their Tayana 42 Soliel to join us. Bay Tripper arrived at about the same time, so we soon had a three-boat raft going but we didn’t stop there. Mischief showed next and dropped her own hook a bit ahead of us. Then Mike Zoll pulled up and rafted Talisman next to Hank and Susan. John and Linda then let out an awesome length of chain to attach Mischief to the raft and provide a second hook. Eau de Vie was the last to arrive and rafted outside of Mischief. It turned out to be as well-balanced a six-boat raft ever strung together without any forethought as I’ve ever seen.
