The weekend started off with thunderstorms Saturday morning that slowly came over the bay; the race committee decided to cancel the first race. By the afternoon it was just raining, with enough wind for a short race. Sunday morning the wind was strong then calmed down; there was a vote on whether to hold a second race to make up for Race 1, but the committee ultimately decided not to.

Race 1

Canceled.

What a great weekend, aside from the extreme heat! Pictures from the weekend, courtesy of sailfastphoto.com.

Well it’s finally here, the start of the 2010 Log Canoe Season! Today (Saturday June 26th) there will be one race, starting at or around 2:30pm. Then two races on Sunday (June 27th) I’m assuming that the first race will be a 10:00am Start and the second race will be a 2:00pm or 2:30pm start.

The winter was pretty intense this year and Canoe season came up very quick, which is a nice alternative to 22 inches of snow. This will be our 151st year of organized Log Canoe Racing which we are all proud to continue the tradition.

The JayDee has been stripped down, and refitted (restored) this winter and sailed her first sail last night. Successfully!! It is not only exciting to see a Log Canoe get restored and become faster, stronger, better, but also this will add another 20-30 years onto her life span for the next generation keeping this ancient sport alive.

Come down to the MRYC or the Miles River today around 2pm and support the Log Canoes!

NODDY is looking for a few good boardmen. We plan on sailing most of the weekends this year and consistent experienced crew makes the difference! Please contact Brad Johnson at …[email protected]…or my cell —410-708-0769..

Kyle Leaverton, a boardman from *Mystery *and film student at Wilmington University, is making a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes as a whole and need yours help! Kyle is looking to interview anyone involved in Log Canoeing, especially those who have owned and sailed for many years. He is also looking for any pictures and stories, which I’m sure there are quite a lot out there! And if anyone has any footage/video of a Log Canoe under sail or a race that would be awesome as well.

Kyle will be available from April 3rd to April 10th to interview anyone interested in participating in this project.
