An appreciation party for the volunteers of the Martha Lewis was a fitting start to the Lantern Queen's return to Havre de Grace. Forty-two skipjack volunteers took the night off and enjoyed food,
friends and fun aboard the Lantern Queen. It was fun for the sailboat crowd to experience the stern-wheeler. And when we announced that the Lantern Queen was approaching the Amtrak (or old Pennsylvania) Railroad Bridge, Skipjack Captain Greg Shinn raced upstairs to the upper deck to see the wonders on the north side of the bridge - since the Martha Lewis' tall mast doesn't fit under the bridge!Lantern Queen Captain Dave Chaney offered an interesting blend of stand up comedy and safety information. It's sure different for the Skipjack folks to have to look up to find lifejackets! (The Martha Lewis' life jackets are stored below.) Meanwhile Lantern Queen Captain Tom Donahue was at the helm.
We were honored to be able to host this wonderful group of volunteers. We hope our Martha Lewis buddies had a GREAT
evening!
