History of the Schooner Woodwind from Dream to Reality with John Scarano and Ken Kaye
25 years ago, Ken, Ellen, and Jennifer Kaye had a dream realized with the building of the Schooner Woodwind at the Scarano Boat Yard, the second schooner Scarano built. Listen to the Naval Architect and Designer of the boats talk with Ken Kaye about how they decided upon the hull design, sail plan, functionality and proportions of the Woodwind. John Scarano will talk about the beginning days of his family’s boatyard, and how it has grown to build more and more certified USCG vessels for entrepreneurs across the country. This will be the first time since Woodwind II was finished, that they will be in a relaxed atmosphere to reminisce about the dreams they both had 25 years ago and where they are now.

Thursday Night Music Cruise featuring Crab Alley Lite
Crab Alley founders Jeff Holland and Janie Meneely will join up for a Woodwind cruise and regale the crew with their original songs of the Bay and beyond. Serious or saucy, their songs shed light on recreational boating as well as Chesapeake traditions here on the Bay. This duo has been singing on the Woodwind for 25 years! Sometimes with each other, sometimes with other great musicians, but we are delighted to get them out together for a wonderful night of memories.
