In celebration of a dear friend’s upcoming betrothal, I joined a fun group of ladies aboard the Schooner Woodwind in Annapolis. As a sailing novice, I was beyond excited to finally have the experience. The weather was perfect, the boat was yar*, and soon after setting sail the champagne was flowing! I must admit I’m quite proud of myself for navigating around the boat to take photos (especially after a good bit of bubbly). The golden glow of the sunset against the skyline provided a stunning backdrop for our revelry. The experience was actually quite soothing and nostalgic for me, having spent many happy days on a boat in my youth…and I am already anxious to sail again.
*I’ve always wanted to use the term “yar” since seeing Philadelphia Story as a child…can’t help myself!
*Fun fact: the boat we sailed on was featured in the movie Wedding Crashers with Christopher Walken at the helm!
Lovely photo of you, friend! And congrats on not dropping your camera in the ocean, which I surely would have done! Hehe…

You captured the night perfectly, and that is a breathtaking shot of you!! Epic weekend. Love you!

You managed to work the word “yar” into a blog post with gorgeous pictures to boot (must be said with the K. Hepburn accent of course)! Off to rent Philadelphia Story – it has been far, far too long!
so glad you have an appreciation for that Jess…it gave me such joy to have a reason to use it! :)
wedding crasher quotes would have been flowing as freely as the champagne. what a gorgeous night!
yes indeed Rebecca, thanks!
so fun! Tiho and I do this yearly for our anniversary, and now I can’t wait for our upcoming September sail! Beautiful pics.
