And, please don't hesitate to invite your friends to join you!!

"Baltimore-based roots group Charm City Junction puts a new spin on old-timey music, carrying the torch of fast-picking bluegrass and toe-tapping Celtic music. Featuring fiddle, clawhammer banjo, the button accordion, and upright bass, this quartet isn’t afraid to take roots music to new places — but always with an eye on tradition." - Washington Post.

Looking forward to dancing and welcoming in the Holidays, together!!

Awards Party Oct 20th

Wednesday Night Racing Awards!

It's the time of year for awards. Let's get together and celebrate the season of racing! Who is welcome? Anyone who sailed on Wednesday night is definitely welcome, but also invite your friends. Do you know people who like to sail (even cruise)? Invite them! How about those power boaters? Sure, invite them! This is a party for all those people who love the water - And we will hand out some awards.

When: October 20th at 6 p.m.

Where: Higgins Yacht Yard (205 Carpenter Street)

What to bring:

    It's BYOB, so bring some of your favorite beverage

    And Pot Luck!

    Does your last name start with A-G? Bring a dessert

    Does your last name start with H-M? Bring an entree

    Does your last name start with N-Z? Bring a salad or side

    If you need something to serve your dish, bring that too

We will provide some paper products and plastic ware. If your dish requires something other than standard stuff to eat it, you should bring that. Finger foods are often best! You don't need to bring enough to feed a Navy. Just enough for 5-10 to enjoy.

Remember that your skipper is terrible at communicating. If you're reading this, you should pass the word to all your crew and other friends!

Do you have a perpetual trophy for WNR at home? I'd love to have those back. Where is that lighthouse?

Remember - Food and fun!

Remember - there will be food and fun at MRYC to celebrate the season of racing! Be sure to join us after the races on Wednesday.

Last Night is the Best Dressed Contest

The Race Committee will be dressed up as a real race committee for the last race of the year. Nothing like blue blazers to class up the race!

Are you dressing up for the last race? I know many boats will be decorating their boats and putting on costumes for the last race. It's always good fun. If you dress up, sail past the RC and tell us your theme. Sometimes it's obvious, but not always. We also like to take some photos!

Don't forget - The awards party is on October 20th at 6 pm. We will be at Higgins Yacht Yard. It's BYOB, so feel free to invite your sailing friends to come party!

Where are those perpetuals?

Do you have a perpetual trophy for Wednesday Night Racing? We need that back! Bring it to MRYC.

Here is is what we need:

• Hot & cold faucets
• Wooden Lighthouse
• The Ratty Squirrel
• Golden Vice Grips
• Get a Grip Wooden Plaque
• Best-dressed Blazer
• Other Crazy Trophies

Bring them back so that we can award them to a new crew!

Awards tomorrow

 Remember, the awards are tomorrow at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in the Boatshop.

Everything starts at 6 pm.

This is a potluck event, so bring your favorite food and drink!

The weather looks nice with temps about 60º and light wind. We should be able to stay warm with little effort. Dress appropriate for outside.

Awards Friday!

Friday isn't far away. The awards are at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in the Boatshop.

Everything starts at 6 pm.

This is a potluck event, so we are not charging for food or drinks. 

• If your last name begins with an A-J, you should bring a dessert/salad
• If your last name begins with a K-Z, you should bring an appetizer
• If you make something special to you, you can bring that instead
• If you need something special to serve your food, bring it
• We will have some beer, but bring your favorite drink!

Making a little extra food is always good, but don't bring tons. If everyone brings food for ten, we'll have to take a lot of food home!

Last year, some people had trouble finding the boatshop. It's a very large building next to the railway and the main entrance. Look for a building with large barn doors, boats under construction inside, and signs saying Boatshop. You're probably in the wrong place if you don't see other people and equipment to build a boat.

The temp will drop quickly, so prepare to stay warm. It should be a fun evening. Hope you can make it!

Awards Dinner/Party

Remember - the Awards Dinner/Party is October 26th at 6 pm.

Do you know any fun awards we should give this year? Let us know!
