What A Year
What a year it was for boating with Annapolis Community Boating. Continuing with the FreeSail sessions and summer camps for all ages. In addition, members of Annapolis Community Boating were able to sail on Monday nights and use the small boats on Wednesday nights. Other special programs for the public included a Day on the Bay, Full Moon Paddles and Friday Night Social Sailing. All in all there were many happy boaters this summer with ACB.
Planning has started for the 2012 year. All of the programs from last summer will be continued. New programs will include a sailboat racing element and paddling on the water trails of Maryland.
As always there will be many social events that are not necessarily on a boat, but will include water or boats in some fashion. ACB just wrapped up the U.S. Sailboat and U.S. Powerboat shows. The Lizard Lounge was in full swing with people taking the canoes and kayaks out for boat rides.
Coming up on November 5th is the MRE – Tug-O-War in Annapolis. This is the 14th annual war between Annapolis and Eastport. One team is on the Eastport side at the Chart House on 2nd St. The other team is on the Susan Campbell Park on the City Dock. And there is a long rope between that makes the tug-o-war. Tugging starts at the Crack of Noon.
Because ACB is named as one of the beneficiaries of the event we have offered to man a ticket table on the Eastport side. Volunteers are being sought for the three different shifts. If you can help, use this link to sign-up.
