Anne Marie and John McVey (he’s principal of

Middle Twp, High School) of CMCH had told as they'd bring their new boat, a 24-foot Regal cabin cruiser, down from Mystic, N.J. to show it to us after its maiden voyage on Palm Sunday. We were excited for them (old boaters never die, they Just pine away) but when we rose Sunday morning to a bleak, rainy day, we figured "too bod, better luck next week" and anticipated watching pro football as the afternoon's highlight It was really sleeting as we left church and immediately after getting home, we were surprised when Anne Marie and daughter, Kara, showed up to say that John, crew Mac McConnell, Dave Blood and Second Mate J. D. McVey, their son, had left Mystic at 7.30 that morning and should be pulling in shortly, but since Kara was playing in the 8th grade AllStar Div I and II basket ball game at Wildwood Catholic High School that afternoon both mother and daughter left Immediately with a request that we keep a lookout for the boat and Its crew They expected to rejoin us as soon as the game was over. WE SETTLED DOWN to cheer for the Phila Stars while dashing to the window at each time-out or commercial with binoculars to spot the returning mariners Despite the fact that John is an experienced helmsman we started to worry when the visibility dropped to zilch They were still out of vision and the tide was dropping, fast, to dead low It was about 3:30 when a very proud mother and her daughter returned from Wildwood Kara was clutching a handsome trophy she had won as the M V P. of the game, having scored 12 points — we had a pretty, excited celebrity in our midst Our exhilaration was dampened by growing apprehension about the voyagers It was now bit lerly cold, the steady rain had become torrential We knew they'd run out of food hours before We all talked a little too long and too loud to keep from worrying By this time Josh Blood (Dave's wife) had joined us and we were vastly relieved when Darling's Yacht Sales, on old Avalon Bvd. called to say Playing Hooky, the McVey's new boat, had gone aground on a sand bar, everybody was safe, they were in rhdio contact and would haul her off shortly WE MUST SAY after 10 years association with marinas we have never known one to Ik* more con-, siderale They even stayed open after hours to get the boaters in safely and keep us informed. About 6 p.m. a call earned to come pick up captain anbd crew at Dari mg's Our spouse drove over to pick up four very cold, wet, hungry and disenchanted guys Immediately after they got here Donna McConnell, whom we had tried vainly to reach by phone, arfrtved .She, of course, was the most worried of all and had been here before but we hadn't heard her knock. Donna's a Phys Ed teacher at Middle Twp. High and a very game gal Instead of the champagne we'd been cooling to christen the boat we served Hoagies and more warming drinks than champagne to toast our slam-dunking

Mews Notes from Seven Mile Beach M E lien Rowland U>B

MVP. Kara Her award made up for the day’s frustration of trying to plot a course through a channel whose markers had all been blown off their moorings and made it look more like a slalom race than an aid to navigation. To their credit, the Coast Guard had two vessels restoring order to the markers the next day Are you familiar with the saying "oh well, that's boating?"

Ethel and Charles Rudrauff of 2nd Ave. S.H. have Just returned from this winter's jaunt (they go to different spots every year) This year they drove to Ft. Lauderdale and then

We received our first an nonymous note the other day It was postmarked Jamacia. N Y where we

have no friends that we know of. but enclosed was a sheet of paper with a por lion of our column warning of stricter enforcement by our police force of the speed limits imposed in Stone Harbor (Do we reach a larger area than we know'’ i The enclosure contained only this message "Dear M Ellen.
