Wye Island Regatta
Hard to believe, but it's that time again.
The annual Wye Island Regatta takes place Saturday, September 12 at Wye Mills, Maryland.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Wye is a 13-mile (non-stop) race around an island in the Chesapeake Bay. Depending on weather, it generally takes around 90 minutes of all-out rowing.
We drive up early that morning. Races are usually over around 12-1pm. Then we head to Harris Crab House for our traditional post-race crab feast. We're usually home that evening by 7-8 pm.
We've had some wild times on the water up there -- everything from cool, misty rain to blazing sun to post-hurricane winds -- you just never know. We've had some great wins at this race, too. Last year our mixed 8+ not only won, but set a new course record.
This race is open to experienced rowers and novices; lineups are competitive. We have raced full novice boats before. Two years ago, the novice 8+ won. We can race 8+s, 4+s or any sculling boat combinations.
Since our season is over on 8/22, we depend on folks to stay in good shape by rowing in anything but 8+s, running, biking, erging, etc. This is an endurance race -- you need to be in good shape.
We have only 1 prerace practice on Sunday morning, September 6. Not sure of the time yet, but it's usually 8 or 9 and we're off the water by noon. We do a full 13-mile loop of the reservoir. You are required to attend this practice.
The race usually costs about $55-60 per person plus dinner. Prepayment is required.
If anyone is interested in rowing, please let me know BY FRIDAY, AUGUST 28. Respond with your
1) name
2) date of birth
3) preferred side (P, S or P/S)
4) all your phone numbers
5) your email

Call or email if you have any questions.
Thanks.
