Uh Oh… It’s Mid-December!
We know how some sailors shop for the holidays… late and hurried. Here’s the procrastinator’s dozen plus gifts for sailors. Good luck!
1. “Float Plan,” a novel by Rob Hiaasen, the late Capital Gazette journalist and editor, which is a story about a rough year in the life of a math teacher… and a love letter to Annapolis and Baltimore. Proceeds will be donated to Everytown for Gun Safety.
2. Canvas totes, cotton throws, home goods, wine accessories, and more from Chesapeake Bay goods.
3. A loaded duffel for new sailors! Soft-sided duffel, Harken gloves, 10L dry bag, cell phone dry bag, polo cap, knot-tying reference cards… all from Complete Sail.
4. Exceptionally pretty fine jewelry for sailors, boaters, paddlers. Check out the Golden Cleat’s Collection.
