Monday September 8-9 Cruise to Knapps Narrows Marina (KNM)- Butch Garren
Cruise to KNM with an option to have a second day at San Domingo Creek. This event is for power boats and sailboats and any other method that would get you there. Conversations with KNM regarding this event indicate that there is a boat limitation based on combined boat sizes. To secure a spot can be enhanced with early sign up with the marina. A future mailing will describe the process.

September 9-10 Cruise from Knapps Narrows to San Domingo Creek, back door to St Michaels - Tom VandenBerg


September 19 Sunset Creek at Vera’s – Butch Garren


September 27 Ted Evans Poker Run – Sharon Johnston
This is a fantastic event that has lacked sailboat participation in the past. Sharon has gone out of her way to see that participating sail boaters feel comfortable joining this event. It is a unique event requiring sail boaters to hustle a bit and get an early start. Join Sharon’s event. It’s a blast.


December 13 Lighted Boat Parade – FC Jim Kiley
A wonderful, spectacular event that showcases the holiday spirit of the community’s boaters. This is a great time for sai boaters to look ahead and plan how they may decorate their boats and compete in this colorful event. Later, Jim will have more details available.


Anytime Impromptu Sailboat Raft ups – Butch Garren
Past attempts at sailboat raft ups have failed due to weather. The new approach will be to monitor ten-day weather forecasts, find a window of opportunity and schedule an event. There will be short notice because of this method but most sail boaters are well prepared and can make quick decisions. Some at SMSA have mentioned a joint raft-up and we can most certainly consider that. Typically, a raft up may include a gathering of boats for lunch or an early evening meal, for a couple of hours, while being lashed together. Good weather, good boats, good food and fantastic
people. What more can you ask for?
