Peggy of New Point

Plans are underway to hold a poker run fundraiser for the Peggy . Bikers will meet at the Gwynn's Island Boat Shop on May 3 or May 10, depending on the weather, ride to local stops and back to the shop for a blue crab boil.

Peggy is in the latest edition of Prop Talk magazine. Article by Trey Shinault / Photos by Dave Machen. Check it out. View the article online at http://issuu.com/proptalk/docs/mar_pt_2014/59?e=0 And, to all you folks (even George Pongonis) who put in so many hours - Thanks for all you do! 

Annual Mathews Christmas Parade, the original pilothouse is "Making Mathews Memories." Our crew gathered early Saturday morning to be-deck her before the parade down Main Street. She was well received by spectators. Construction of the float took place at the Gwynn's Island Shop, starting just after Thanksgiving. The house was lifted onto new 4x4's, the trailer secured, side walk boards, round stern, pointed bow, and side rails for garland all constructed by volunteers.
