[MMaher2049 at aol.com]

The annual Wye Island Regatta will be held on Saturday, September 13. 

The 12.5-mile race starts at Wye Landing on the Wye East River, 18 miles 
southeast of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Maryland's Eastern Shore and continues 
around Wye Island. The course is over sheltered estuaries with minimum boat 
traffic and great scenery.

We usually take mixed 8+s. We also have the option of taking 4+s, the quad 
and 2Xs. We have 1 committed coxswain so far. Lineups for all boats will be 
competitive, not first-come, first-serve. Advanced Sweep rowers & Racing Program 
rowers may row together. If enough novices want to go, we can put together an 
all-novice boat.

We will probabaly have at least 1 practice, probably on Sunday, September 6, 
hopefully late morning. If you are unable to attend, you must let us know and 
you must find your own sub, and also please let us know who that is. 

We will drive   the trailer up early Saturday morning, leaving boathouse 
around 4:00 a.m. Mixed 8+ launch time is usually around 10:30. Other races launch 
earlier. Race takes about 90 minutes. Mid-afternoon dinner afterwards at 
Harris Crab House. We usually get home around 7 p.m. that night.

Trailer loading, Friday night around 6 p.m. Trailer unloading and boat 
washing (to get rid of salt water)   Sunday. You must be present for both.

Signup sheets will be posted in the boathouse by Wednesday, 8/13. Deadline 
for signup: August 25.
