[Editor's Note:  "Scuttlebutt and Spindrift" will be a regular feature on this website and will contain the mutterings of Salty Sam, a wise but crusty old sea captain who loves gossip and is never afraid to use his sharp tongue to speak his mind about the fun and foibles of his shipmates around the Bay!!]

Ahoy Mateys!  Salty hears there was a great land cruise up around the Middle River.  Baltimore YC visited Crescent, Eastern, and Sue Haven but either the bilge rats aren’t talking or everyone behaved (highly unlikely).  

Many of you remember 2002 Queen of the Chesapeake Bridget Smith.  A Salty belated Congratulations and Best Wishes goes to Bridget, who got married back in July ’07.  Bridget will soon be settling down in South Carolina with new husband, Dr. Brian Desaulniers.  

No other news, stories, or gossip to report as our captains and crews remain busy getting their boats and clubs ready for the season.

The Skunk Flag remains with P/C Steve Keefe of Bodkin YC but Salty is pleased to report that a potential new winner has been “ratted out” and King Neptune’s court will soon decide the person’s fate.  The winner will be announced at the opening of that person’s home club.

Please send your news, items of interest, stories, and skunk flag nominations to V/C Joe Hellner.  He usually knows where to find me.  Till next Port of Call, always remember, those who don’t make mistakes must not be doing anything!
