Five Forts Race

Rock Creek Racing Association and Maryland Yacht Club work together to put on this race on the Patapsco River, using marks between the five forts you can see along the course (Smallwood, Howard, Carroll, McHenry, and Armistead). MYC hosts the post-race social. This is an event I coordinate and run - we have fun, and have slips for boats who want to come early on Friday or stay Saturday night. This was also the first time we took our eldest's new boyfriend out racing! I've run a mostly teens-learning-to-sail-and-race crew, which is how I grew up.
