I have been fairly busy lately with the Christmas rush, so I thought I would make a few posts about interesting sights that I somehow didn...

Tunnel Hull boats 2 SMBC Regatta July 29

Second video of the Tunnel hull boats, really powerful race boats running a demonstration.  These boats can drive over 100 mph.  They are all vintage boats owned by the Southern Maryland Boat Club members at the Leonardtown Wharf.  This was the third club Regatta, where the owners and drivers could show off their boats to the public in a much safer situation than a race.  There were no winners, just happy club members.

Tunnel Hull boats at the Southern Maryland 2017 Summer Regatta July 29th.

The weather was miserable, so after one run of each type of boat, they cancelled for the rest of the day till the weather improved on July 30th.

Southern Maryland Boat Club Regatta July 29th

My husband, Jim, was thrilled to drive his boat in the Boat Club's 2017 Summer Regatta!  The weather wasn't too cooperative on Saturday July 29th, but improved considerably on Sunday.  Each class only had one heat on Saturday and they ended around 1 P. M. instead of 5 P. M.

 Here are some photos from Saturday.  Each demonstration included two parade laps under the yellow flag, followed by 5 laps under the green flag.  I didn't photograph all of the boats that day.

Southern Maryland Boat Club Regatta July 30-31, 2016: Disability Be Damned!

Jim is a member of the SMBC and participated in the Regatta this year for the first time at Leonardtown Wharf. This was very special for him because he has extra disabilities to overcome to be in the demos and made quite a few modifications to his boat to drive in the Regatta.  His boat is a 1985 Ski Centurion Warrior Barefoot boat.  His boat's speed was about 55 mph.

He enjoyed showing off his boat and wants to thank his pit crew for all of their help.  It was quite hot, but lots of fun and we also enjoyed the lovely club dinner at Rayner Blair's house Saturday night.

Someone from the club asked if I would offer my Regatta photos for sale, but mostly I am posting them for your enjoyment.
