Novel as it was, the idea of a hot pizza lunch on the water during a 90-plus-degree Tennessee day didn’t appeal to anyone on our boat during last Saturday’s Old Hickory Fun Run, so we called a collective audible and made a beeline for The Rudder restaurant, a waterside joint at Anchor High Marina in Hendersonville. On board Vinnie Foglia’s M3900 Mystic center console were Scott Sjogren of Shogren Performance Marine, Foglia and several guests including Kate McRae, a young Nashville-based singer/songwriter.

Lunch off the water turned out to be a perfect call, but it lasted longer than expected. Short on time, the Mystic crew opted to skip the afternoon raft-up and head back to Sam’s Sports Bar at Blue Turtle Bay Marina, home base for event, and then pop back to Nashville to clean up before returning to the marina for the evening’s festivities.
