Annapolis Sail & Power Squadron knows how to raft up, rendezvous, and have fun! In addition to focusing on education and vessel safety checks, Annapolis Sail & Power Squadron had lots of enjoyable events this past season. In June we enjoyed a week-long cruise reaching up the Potomac River which included five ports of call.
We had several raft ups in beautiful locations, including on the Severn (May), Magothy (August), and South River (September). We also had great weekend rendezvous to Great Oak Marina on Fairlee Creek (May), Inner Harbor East in Baltimore (July), and Brewer Oxford Marina (August). We even got in some land events most notably a June fundraiser picnic, a July Thomas Point Lighthouse Tour, July Ice Cream & Dessert Social, and an August Bowie Baysox game.
Our fun isn’t stopped by a few fall leaves! In September we enjoyed an all-you-can-eat crab feast and the District Five Fall Fishing and Sail Regatta. September also ushered in our monthly dinner/speaker meetings. These meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month, September through May, and are open to the public.
October’s dinner speakers were Jessica Nusbaum from the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, plus Dave Mandell and Megan Williams from the Office Annapolis Emergency Management. These were especially interesting speakers and timely presentations with hurricane Joaquin set to make its presence felt the following weekend. Please see our monthly Anchor Watch newsletter for upcoming dinner speakers, menus, cost, location and registration info: aspsmd.org/anchorwatch.htm
Annapolis Sail & Power Squadron is an educational organization. We are hosting several boating classes this fall including America’s Boating Course, Piloting, and Weather. These classes are open to all interested boaters. Class descriptions, dates, costs and registration can be found on our website aspsmd.org/education.htm
