Sailing on the Schooner Woodwind is an amazing experience anytime, but on this day the wind was strong enough to take us under the Bay Bridge…what a thrill!! Photo by Kim Gregory of Annapolis, MD

My husband took this in 2009, I was about 5 months pregnant, so it was my daughter’s first boat ride 🙂 We were celebrating my husband’s birthday on board the Woodwind. Beautiful, breathtaking sunset as well! Photo by Joy Almendarez of Linthicum Heights, Maryland

One of the great memories of Annapolis sailing on the Woodwind. My lovely shipmate surprised me the morning of sailing. As a retired Coastie, I was taken back to the good old days of being out at sea. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Photo by John Davidowski of Vacaville, California

Strong winds on our 5th voyage aboard the Woodwind in 10 years took us beyond the impressive Bay Bridge. Many thanks to the crew for making our weekend in Annapolis most memorable. -Lew Morris and Kay Rupert Photo by Lew Morris of Alexandria, Virginia

The sun and the sea can really make a new diamond ring sparkle. Nicole admires her new engagement ring moments after Fernando proposed to her at the helm on the next to last cruise of the 2014 season. Everyone on board was applauding. Photo by Gary Schonman of Rockville, Maryland
