With names like Sailor and Rudder, you can tell these brothers have been raised in a boating family. They hold down the fort with the Ostmann clan at the end of Brightleaf Drive overlooking Mill Creek.
Surrounded by water, this pair loves everything about being in the water or on the water. They have both grown up at Camp Seafarer working on boats with their dad Sean with campers lovingly referring to Sailor as “Crab Pot” because, well… he smelled like a crab pot after spending his days “fishing” from the boat ramp.
And now they have two other right-sized playmates who are just their favorite little people in the whole world, brother Mack and sister Lilagrace. I think the feeling is mutual.
