The May SpinSheet is on the Docks

Creaky, leaky old boats (that we love anyway), Nine tips for "hitching a ride" for weeknight racing on the Bay in 2008, Dock Walkin', being a "green" crewmember, Mother's Day gifts, and chatting up sailing to the "non-sailing" world... The May SpinSheet presents this and more.

May brings spring breezes and fun festivals to Chesapeake country. Starting with those three May Days (Friday through Sunday, May 2-4) of the Maryland Maritime Heritage Festival in Annapolis and continuing through Chestertown's popular Tea Party (May 23) and Hampton's Blackbeard Festival (May 30-June 1), the print edition of SpinSheet highlights the ones worth checking out.

This is an exciting time for the team at Spinsheet. We've been working hard to bring our web presence into this century, and are very close to launching the first piece of it: the photo gallery, where sailors may click through hundreds of updated Bay sailing photos and purchase them... Stay tuned!
