Edmee S. Sail to Oxford

[pictobrowser 23882489@N04 72157621842698191]

We successfully sailed the Edmee S. from St. Michaels to Oxford! We had a great day to sail with plenty of wind, the weather this morning was rainy with severe thunderstorms last night making a very wet and soggy morning. We managed to get her all rigged and ready to go, unfortunately one of our chase boats ( Volunteer) was having technical difficulties so we were unable to use her at all, but with the help of Old Point we had at least one chase boat to watch over us. It was tricky in the morning getting out of the miles river, still wet and slippery from the rain and plenty of wind from the storm front still looming but we managed to get out to eastern bay and went on a nice long reach. It got a little more rough the further we went out into the bay, near the Kent narrows we did a lot of rockin’ & rollin’ but kept everyone on board and didn’t wash a single board man.

Old Point was unable to tow us so we had to wait for help from another chase boat so we took advantage of that downtime and rafted up and ate lunch and swapped out a fresh crew. After we made it through the narrows the blue skies broke through and it was smooth sailing from there on out. Edmee S. sailed in close to the Tred Avon Yacht club and dropped off her cargo of one watermelon and one delicious ham, and expensive freight. The sun slowly disappeared as we approached the dock on the Belvue side of the river ending a perfect day of sailing with a nice cool evening!

Governor's Cup Series Results

It was another great weekend, plenty of wind in the morning and even more in the afternoon with a severe thunderstorm rolling through late Saturday night. Plenty of shifty wind with crazy little puffs here and there making a tricky afternoon race.

Photo slide show of the weekend

The weekend started out great with plenty of wind for both races on Saturday although stronger (but just enough wind) in the morning making it a great day for Log Canoes. Unfortunately the wind died out on Sunday and left everyone floating at the start line. It was a grueling race trying to find any small wisp of air to reach that finish line within 3 hours.

Edmee S. sails the Atlantic! (or something...)

Edmee S. is planning to sail from St. Michaels to Oxford in honor of the 150th year of log canoe racing. 150 years ago no one was towing around in relative comfort and no one was trailering to a convenient boat ramp - they were real sailors who bucked up, put up a sail, and delivered the boat. Okay, they may have had less sail area, but when was the last time you sailed a canoe in the Bay proper?

Here’s the plan: Thursday, August 6th, 10:30am… We will start at Green “1” at the mouth of the Miles River (Deep Water Point) Once the canoe is south of Green “1” entrance to Knapps Narrows, you can drop sails and tow through. Once East of Green “5” on the Choptank side of the narrows, you must start sailing again. Finish will be R”2” off the Tred Avon Yacht Club.

Rain day is Friday, August 7th, 10:30am.

We’re planning to bring two chase boats and several extra crew. We’re also going to try to bring some photographers from local news groups. Sailing through Knapps Narrows is not allowed (bridge tender would get mad). If you can’t convince your skipper to sail around, come with us! We’ll gladly accept any real sailors in need of an adventure.

Could be stupid, could be fun - most likely both. First one there gets bragging rights for the next 150 years.

CRY&CC Series Results

Saturday was shaping up to be a pretty good day with plenty of wind.. Maybe a little too much wind!

The first race on saturday saw a good 10-11mph (plus wind gusts) making for a hell of a ride! The course was R,G,B about 8 miles long. With the puffy wind and white caps it made the start difficult, only seven canoes racing that day, Island Bird only sailed under jib and foresail while Mystery sailed under foresaild and mainsail. Island Blossom, Island Lark, and JayDee made the last mark right about the same time then headed up to the finish when Lark was hit by a huge puff capsizing her over hard enough to send the boardmen flying into the foresail. Island Blossom took the gun with Jaydee finishing close behind.
