Eastern Messabout (Maryland)

[Editors]

3rd Year at Elk Neck w/ 3 days of “messing about”- an informal time for sailboats, powerboats, canoe & kayak; home-built or commercial. Nail & glue, stitch & glue or "traditional". Hours of sailing on beautiful water; swapping of stories at the comfortable beach & shady glen; new & continuing friendships through charmed days. Camping available - register early.

Sailing will begin as early Fri. as anyone gets there and a "welcome table" should be up by noon. Potluck supper Friday w/ free hotdogs w/fixin's (courtesy Eric Hughes) .. please bring side dishes and BYO beverage. A short get acquainted Capt'ns meeting will follow.

Another potluck Saturday evening w/ free sausages courtesy Capt'n Rick Urban. Bring a side dish & BYO beverage. There's time for more sailing that time of year. AND, come evening we'll have an informal 'Talk-about' w/ Norm Wolfe covering design/build/sailing his Norm's Boat & Raider.

Saturday dawns with messing about and about 11am Steve Bosquette will lead the way across to Cabin John Creek for a raft up lunch (BYO). Later in the afternoon Tom Maurer will organize a 'Marsh-mellow Scoop', which was a ball last year.

Sunday more messing about. Last year at least half the folks stayed and sailed through lunch time and later. As always, we're invite comments and suggestions and offers of help.
