This year is our first year of experimentation with adding sailing to our former totally woodsy atmosphere. During our summer camp, Karen Aspinwall will be escorting campers (twenty children) on a three-hour educational sail on the Chesapeake Bay. Personally, this sounded like so much fun, we decided the big kids might want to do that also.
We'll
bring a cooler of subs and drinks for your dining
pleasure and set sail from Havre de Grace at 6:00
p.m., Cost to members, $20.00, non members -
$25.00.
