Holly Tree

This is a 275 year old holly tree we discovered on Wye Island when we were anchored in Dividing Creek. Note - Sharon is standing on the right side in the shade.

Well Deserved Rest

After being relentlessly driven by the Admiral, the Captain manages to steal five minutes of "quality" time.

Kayak Tranquility

Not to be outdone by the other kayak websites, we had to take a photo of our kayaks too.

Kayak Mounts

The newly installed kayak mounts on the top deck are working well.

Bow Refinishing

Here the bowsprit and toe rails are shown before applying the finish. The handrails, staunchions and pulpit were removed and refinished separately before being reinstalled. Previously, only the toe rails and hand rails were finished. We decided to finish the bowsprit also. A little elbow grease and metal polish did wonders for the staunchions and pulpit.

Chair in a Box

Good seating is always needed for the crew after a hard day. Luckily, the Captain knew how to put these chairs together

Boat Security Officer

Laying down on the job again, but we'll keep her. She's a great boat dog.

Let Them Eat Cake

Cheesecake that is - in celebration of Jesse's 21st Birthday.

The Admiral Commandeers the Helm

The crew fearing for their lives due to near perfect boating conditions planned a ill-fated mutiny and Sharon had to assume command of the vessel during a family float on the Chesapeake Bay.

He's a Natural

Maiden Voyage

After spending the Winter on the hard, Big Run is slipped back into the water, and we head to our slip at Swan Creek Marina in Rock Hall, Maryland
