Matt Rutherford Returns Home To Hero’s Welcome

Yesterday, Matt Rutherford returned to Annapolis after solo circumnavigating the Americas in a 27′ sailboat. The young sailor embarked on this journey to bring attention and funds to a local non-profit, Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating, or CRAB, a nonprofit which gives people with disabilities the opportunity to sail.  The Capital has a very thorough story on the hero’s welcome he received.
