Demanda and I showed at up Downrigging Weekend in 2006, only to find all the tickets for sailing had been sold weeks before. This year we booked early and were greeted with strong cold north winds, the remmnats Hurricane Noah. There are over a dozen tall ships that sail this event, held the first weekend in November. We sailed Virginia Schooner a 116 foot Schooner that would have made Errol Flynn proud. Errol owned an incredible sailboat about this size named the Zaca, which he sailed and lived till the very end. So Errol, this video tribute is to you! Boat Drinks, Jimmy CraicHead!

Nicely done event in Chestertown. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley got things going with the proclamation. The Chestertown Tea Party was a protest against British excise duties which, according to local legend, took place in May 1774 in Chestertown, Maryland as a response to the British Tea Act. Chestertown tradition holds that, following the example of the more famous Boston Tea Party, colonial patriots boarded the brigantine Geddes in broad daylight and threw its cargo of tea into the Chester River. The event is celebrated each Memorial Day weekend with a festival and historic reenactment called the Chestertown Tea Party Festival. Filmed with Drift Innovation HD170. Edited in iMovie 11
