This was the "Puppy Love" - a 42 foot, wood hull boat used to tour the Chesapeake. Trips included Delaware Bay, Annapolis, the Sassafrass River, down the Inter-Coastal Waterway and various Yacht clubs around Virginia and Maryland. Excursions also included going out into the Atlantic as well to explore more of the East Coast.

The boat was housed many years at Pointer's Marina and Windmill Point. Memories include going through the locks on the Inter-Coastal Waterway and "The Cut", a measure of captainship near Wrightsville Beach.
