CRAB Sailing

Jamie is participating in Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating and is learning how to sail a Freedom 20 sailboat. This organization makes sailing accessible with some awesome modifications to their boats. Jamie had the helm the whole time and he did quite well. Here are some shots from our excersion!

This is the CRAB fleet

Our Next Boat??

Here are some pictures of "Caribbean Wings" a 1997 Catalina 28 MK II. We are considering this as a possibility for our next boat! She is lying in Norfolk, VA so if we do buy her, it will be a very long sail back to Annapolis...oh shucks! Let me know what you think!!

The stern has a swim platform, a non-negotiable for my first mate! The entire cockpit is covered with a bimini top.
