Inn) in Solomon's Island, Maryland which is off the Patuxent River,
mid-Chesapeake Bay.  Jerry had a Soverel-30 Racer/Cruiser for 27 years and
prior to that, a Catalina 25 for 5 years.  Jerry and his wife Donna have
been active members of the Southern Maryland Sailing Association (SMSA) for

Race Governor.  They were the recipients of the 2012 SMSA Cruising High
Point Award.
