The same pesking Havre de Grace weather conditions that kept us at pier for the Queen's Tea struck again. White caps and a gusty 20+ mph winds made sailing impossible. Our wonderful passengers assured us that the wine dinner would still be fun.
While a wine educator from Boordy Vineyard worked with Chef Tom Eikenberg to pair award winning wines with Tom's amazing Wine Dinner menu and explain them to our passengers, Captain Dave Gainey and the Lantern Queen crew carefully monitored the slowly improving weather. When the boat began to back out of its slip (about 45 minutes later) an excited ovation went up from the dining room. Amazingly, the wind died down, the water calmed, and the evening turned absolutely beautiful. After dinner, most folks made their way to the upper deck. Everyone was having such a good time that we extended the cruise about a half hour.
Once again, its all about the people. Great people make great cruises!
