The Chesapeake Bay Foundations 13th annual paddle for the bay race was today, and even though i didn’t race in it, I did make it down for the start. There were about 25 solo racers in various craft, as well as 3, 6 man out riggers. I couldn’t hang around for the finish, but if I find the results I’ll post them here….
