[Rhodes22-list] Re stored Skipjacks by Elle made me think of Captain Rummy

[Mary Lou Troy]

For those who are curious about skipjacks here is a great video 
featuring Capt Wade Murphy of the Rebbeca T. Ruark who sails out of 
Tilghman Island (listmember Rory Orkin's home port). It's sort of a 
commercial for his educational charter business but nicely done and 
you can hear that great Eastern Shore accent:

And here's the even better story of her sinking and rescue in 1999 
(she was restored):
