Thinking of recent gatherings of Vikings on the Chesapeake, we actually have the makings for a full season of activities. How's this sound for a start?
June 30th
1st Annual Eastern Shore race and raftup. This year's highlighted model will be E38s with a special one design race being organized. Others wanting to try to beat them for the fun of it are invited. The day will be rounded out with a raftup at Shaw Bay for any and all Ericsons interested.
July -mid to late
Informational workshop with local sailmaker guest speaker addressing sail repair while at sea, jobs you can do yourself, general care, and other aspects of sail and canvas
August
2nd Cantler's raftup and crabfeast
October
Annual Annapolis Sailboat show get together
And over the long term, I am thinking an annual June race raftup with a featured model each year would be really cool. I have actually talked with a local sailmaker about doing an event in July, and perhaps a tech event a year would be a good thing. Cantler's or some other type place for an August event could again be a recurring theme, and of course, The boat show must go on in October.
Other thoughts/changes? and yes, the admiral hit the hay early tonight leaving me with boat on the brain and too much time....
