The 37th Governor's Cup Race Sails In

The 37th annual Governor’s Cup race took place on August 7th ending at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The finish line was marked by the replica of the Maryland Dove, the ship that arrived at St. Mary’s City in 1634. Along the shore of Historic St. Mary’s City and St. Mary’s College of Maryland, visitors and sailors can enjoy music, food, the campus store and a great view of the race. The race started in Annapolis at 6PM the previous night. I’ve known the arrival times to vary greatly, sometimes 2AM, sometimes 5PM, depending on the prevailing winds and weather.
