It begins.... Again...

Well it's finally here, the start of the 2010 Log Canoe Season! Today (Saturday June 26th) there will be one race, starting at or around 2:30pm. Then two races on Sunday (June 27th) I'm assuming that the first race will be a 10:00am Start and the second race will be a 2:00pm or 2:30pm start.

The winter was pretty intense this year and Canoe season came up very quick, which is a nice alternative to 22 inches of snow. This will be our 151st year of organized Log Canoe Racing which we are all proud to continue the tradition.

The JayDee has been stripped down, and refitted (restored) this winter and sailed her first sail last night. Successfully!! It is not only exciting to see a Log Canoe get restored and become faster, stronger, better, but also this will add another 20-30 years onto her life span for the next generation keeping this ancient sport alive.

Come down to the MRYC or the Miles River today around 2pm and support the Log Canoes!

Calling all Log Canoers!!!!!

Kyle Leaverton, a boardman from Mystery and film student at Wilmington University, is making a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes as a whole and need yours help! Kyle is looking to interview anyone involved in Log Canoeing, especially those who have owned and sailed for many years. He is also looking for any pictures and stories, which I'm sure there are quite a lot out there! And if anyone has any footage/video of a Log Canoe under sail or a race that would be awesome as well.

Kyle will be available from April 3rd to April 10th to interview anyone interested in participating in this project.

Please contact him at,

Jay Dee Gets Re-fitted!

Update: [06/20/2010] Jay Dee is all finished and was luanhced friday June 19th at the MRYC, she is sitting on her trailer and Canoes Harbor awaiting the start of the racing season.

The mighty Jay Dee was taken to Campbell's Boat Yard in Oxford hauled out of the water flipped over and stripped of her fiberglass in the effort to remove excess water and preserve her for generations to come. The project will take most of the winter and is very exciting for the fleet to keep the Canoes maintained and racing!

Check back often as I will be updating the slide show as the progress continues..

Edmee S. will be sailing all day at the small craft festival, and she will also be taking on guests who want to experience sailing a Chesapeake Bay Log Canoe!

"Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival Saturday, October 3, 10am-5pm

One of the most popular gatherings of small and unique water craft in the U.S. – the 27th Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival –takes place at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum on Saturday, October 3, from 10:00am – 5:00pm.

More than 200 unique small craft will be on display, including kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, rowing shells, sailing skiffs, prams and the unusual “one-of-a-kinds.” Proud boat owners – many who hail from ports up and down the East Coast—will offer boat building demonstrations as well sailing, paddling, and rowing competition. The  Museum’s boat yard staff, and instructors from the Chesapeake Wooden Boat Builders School,  will also be on hand to offer maritime demonstrations."
