Jellyfish, rainbows, afternoon thunderstorms… one more day until July in Chesapeake country, and there’s no such thing as a bored sailor.
Finding a place to anchor for fireworks is top priority, and the latest print edition and our online calendar are great starting points.
From Havre de Grace to Norfolk, there will be one mantra: party on deck.
Raft-ups and regattas, both club-style and competitive, take over the Bay all month long. The Eastport YC Solomons Invitational is in its 28th year as a popular point-to-point overnight race and will be open for registration up until a few days before the July 18 start. Southern Maryland SA has another terrific three-day Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge on tap July 20-22.
