CHAPTER 6
Every great party has an after-party, and the Christening of the Saint Robert was definitely a great party, thus, at about 6pm, after most of the beer and champagne had been drunk or spilled overboard, we battened down the hatches and herded the remaining crew up the docks to the on-site restaurant of the marina, the famous Bo Brooks crab house. To our great pleasure, the restaurant had graciously agreed to accommodate our rowdy crew with private use of the entire pavilion at their dockside tiki bar. You would think we would have all been a little haggard by this point in our marathon party weekend, but a second wind blew through and we ended up closing the place down!
The next morning was decidedly more abstemious at our farewell brunch, though someone did pop a bottle of champagne so we could enjoy a round of mimosas with the gooey, and it turns out best in Baltimore, cinnamon rolls my uncle brought from the Blue Moon Café. Sadly, before we knew it, people were leaving for the airport and home. A few stalwart sailors did stay aboard for one final cruise around the inner harbor, but eventually even they had to leave. We tied up the dock lines, sprayed down the deck, and with that, the Christening of the Saint Robert was officially over.
Thanks for taking the time to have a look at all of our photos, and for those of you that were able to make it out for the Christening, we couldn’t have done it without you, so Thanks again! And, please stay tuned for the many more adventures that will undoubtedly take place aboard the Saint Robert. Until then though, we will jump back to where we left off with the Aegean Expedition…
There is one last thing I would like to add to this Saint Robert section of the blog, which I should have added to the first post about the Christening: the initial invitation we sent out for the party- again purely for posterity.
