It’s not too late to join Don and me this weekend at the
SSCA Gathering of Mariners (GAM). You don’t need to be salty to listen to
Donna Lange talk about solo circumnavigating twice or kick up your heels to the
Eastport Oyster Boys playing with a rolicking fire at Camp Letts. You can do just that for $25 per person; register
