Seven Seas Cruising Association Annapolis Gam - Maryland Yacht Club

We had a wonderful time renewing old friendships and making new ones at the Seven Seas Cruising Association Annapolis Gam which was held at the Maryland Yacht Club.  It was a wonderful setting and the club members were very welcoming.  The seminars on a wide range of topics were particularly good.  The banquet was served to a full house and the fellowship superb.  Nigel Calder was the keynote speaker and provided us with a humorous and informative narration of his earliest days as a cruiser.  His experiences made it clear that even the smartest among us often make dumb mistakes.  His latest book, Shakedown Cruise:  Lessons and Adventures from a Cruising Veteran as He Learns the Ropes, is a must read for anyone interested in cruising.  It is a fast, humorous read filled with anecdotes that provide not soon to be forgotten lessons of value to the cruising sailor.  Once again, the Gam was a special weekend of fun and learning in a wonderful setting.
