24 Hour Cruise A Success by John Koedel, III
We had a pretty good turnout for the 24 Hour Cruise on July 23/24. The following boats joined the raft in Cobbs Creek:
Boat Owner (Adults / Kids) Ishky Baha Koedel, III (3/2) Wings Koedel, Jr. (2/0) Northstar Moody (2/3) Miss Kate Sakowski (3/3) Soulemate Soule (2/2) Infusion Maurer (2/5) Crush Cost (2/2)
We left FBYC around 2:30pm, sailed our way up the Piankatank and arrived around 5 PM for cocktails and shared appetizers. We ate our meals and made the cockpit rounds. The kids had fun in the dinghies while exploring and engaging in water battles.
Just before sunset, we broke the raft apart into groups for the night. The temperature had been hot all week but the Gods smiled on us and gave us a cooler evening. Late in the evening, John Moody got out his guitar and we sang such classics as Theres a Bathroom on the Right. Yarns were spun and bottles emptied.
In the morning, the boats headed back to port at various times but we were all home by noon. The cruise was actually less than 24 hours and, I believe, fun for all.
