The Boatyard Bar and Grill Regatta to Benefit CRAB (Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating) happens this weekend, and already over 80 boats are signed up! The good news is that registration has been extended until tomorrow, so you can still sign your boat up and get the gang together for what is always one of the best days on the Bay.
At the regatta party, organizers will be auctioning off four tickets for the Redskins/Seahawks game on October 6 using the Annapolis Yacht Sales Skybox. Retail value is $2500, and it will go to the highest bidder. It's a great chance for a Redskins or (gasp!) Seahawks fan to get to the game and support CRAB. Bring your crew and their checkbooks and be prepared to bid!
One of our favorite local bands, Misspent Youth, will be playing at the regatta and there will be great food and bevvies all 'round (it's cash only, so come prepared). Bring the family and get ready to have some fun for one of the best causes on the Bay.
And remember - even if you aren't an active racer, this is a great opportunity to get out and race in a fun fleet for an amazing cause. It's an easy seven miles, and the weather will be gorgeous. Busy this weekend? Why don't you register your boat anyway? It's a $55 donation to CRAB, and you'll feel good about helping them make a difference in the lives of so many.
We'll see you there.
