A Renoir Boating Party

Sunday the Harbor 20 Fleet 5 crew had a wonderful time with 6 boats and 20 people for the Social Sail all dressed up like the Renoir Boating Party.

We sailed out of the harbor and around the historic French tall ship Hermione, which was anchored in the mouth of the Severn River. We felt we should welcome our French guest to Annapolis in style. She is amazing and now docked in Annapolis for 3 days. Lunch was at the National Sailing Hall of Fame dock and offices. A BIG thanks to the NSHOF for hosting the Harbor20 fleet. The fleet will be making a donation to the NSHOF.

The Hospice Cup Chairman, Karma came with her team and served us Dark and Stormy’s and talked about the upcoming Hospice Cup Regatta on Sept. 19th. The web site is open for registration and fund raising has begun. Fleet 5 plans to be the largest fleet again this year. We will be given our own start if we get everyone signed up early and raise donations for this great cause. Please register and start fund raising now, I have. Let’s GO! hospicecup.org

The Next Social Sail will be this Fall when we are sailing to Lake Ogleton for more fun on the water.
