Memorable memorial day raft up !

GROWTH. . . is good!!

Memorial Day is a day for remembering our veterans, both present and past, but for the Chesapeake Bay Table, it is also a day to add memories to the Table history by adding another long time Engage to the fraternity of Brothers. In 2006, Brother Boats was inducted the Table, and 2007 was no different, just the names were changed.

On Saturday, May 26, the Table’s on the water clubhouse (ORZA of Brother Cruz & Sook Ann) picked up the Willoughby Bay mooring and in less than 15 minutes, the clubhouse had grown appendages – Casual Class, Tardis, Chanty, Blue Moon, Talisman, Cat Nap and Windkist. All Brothers arriving sans vessels were then shortly aboard. The Table then gathered for the joyous occasion of bestowing upon Eric Matherne, the status of Brother. It was another great gathering – although Floater may have been over served since he emptied Tardis’ water tanks overnight – should have named him Faucet.

Shortly after the induction, a consistant Table Passenjero arrived to add another appendange. The remainder of the weekend was filled with casual sailing in gentle breezes under sunny skies. As far as holidays go – it doesn’t get any better than this!!
As always, there are more pictures on the table photo album.
