governor's cup 2002 (WIP)
While digging through some old pictures
The Governor's Cup race is a Chesapeake Bay tradition for
over 30 years. The Governor's Cup Yacht Race
is an annual event in Maryland taking place the first weekend of August each
year come rain or shine, wind
or no wind. It begins in Annapolis and ends at the
St. Mary's College Waterfront
in St. Mary's City. The
Governor's Cup is the largest overnight yacht race on the east coast with over
150 boats participating each
year. The event terminates with a large public party that includes beer, food,
and live music.
In 2002 I crewed on a Pearson Renegade Athena. We did not place or finish, but we had a great time.
