Log #34 - GMAC Team Three Hour Cruise up the Elizabeth River - July 31, 2003

"Three Hour Tour"

Alan Sutton has invited the team to go on an evening cruise on his Monk 36 Trawler. We departed from the Portsmouth Ocean Marine marina at about 4:30 PM and headed out the Elizabeth River to the Navy Piers. We returned at about 7:30 PM.

Christine Nemeth isn't comfortable being on a boat without a life jacket so before she gets on the boat she puts it on.

JJ is strapped on for the ride.

Al Moore is doing a little business before we get under way. He isn't really drinking water.

The "bridge crew" - Doug Wolvin, Jonathan Scheetz and Alan Sutton

Phil Edwards - our photographer - testing the rail.

Alan Sutton - our host and captain. With that autopilot he didn't have to play helmsman too often.
