Kismet is the name of the Mason 44 yacht that is moored in Solomons, MD. The yacht is the joy of the Jones's from the Midwest. They travel to Maryland frequently to sail the Chesapeake, a wonderful place to be!

Kismet is now located at Zahniser's Yachting Center nominated "Best of the Bay" by the Chesapeake Bay Magazine.

The 2006 season began in April as Kismet had some work done over the winter. Interior floors sanded and re-varnished, companion way steps stripped and re-varnished, and new stair treads installed. She looks like a new sailing ship now as another two coats of varnish were added to the top side teak last fall before she was pulled for the winter.

We sailed for a week over Memorial Day week traveling to Herrington Harbor South, then to Saint Michael's, then to Annapolis. Pictures will be posted in the near future as Uncle bob has been busy around the house with installing new wood floors.

In the mean time you can watch a video (thanks to Paul's new camera) of the newest crew member Noah on his maiden voyage here. If the video doesn't load just right click on the link and "save as" to somewhere on your hard drive where you can locate it and play the movie (4.26 MB).

Stay tuned as we take some weekend and week long trips on the Chesapeake.

The 2006 season has begun!
