Race & Messabout in Maryland
This is mainly an event for paddlers, but anyone with a small
boat is welcome. Maybe we'll get up some spur-of-the-moment
pram races too.

==========
All-Paddle Day begins at 9 in the morning. Paddle or sail all day
along the beautiful Chester River and Langford Creek. Maybe
there will be impromptu races for sailing canoes and prams. It
all happens in the spirit of a small-boat Messabout, so even if
you're not a paddler, come on down. Contact for Rock Hall Yacht
Club: Chuck Parry 410-778-4560

All day: Talk with local vendors, try boats, go paddling!

father of modern kayaking, is back again with an in-water
paddling technique workshop. If John MacGregor and his "Rob
Roy" invented what we now think of as touring in a kayak or
double-paddle canoe, Derek brought expedition kayaking back to
its roots.
