To keep it close to on topic:
Long, long ago and in an Earlier life Spring meant the annual St. Michael's regatta. It was always timed to coincide with one of the Chesapeake Log Canoe races.
​
Folk would sail across the Chesapeake and down to St. Michael's on the Eastern Shore where we would all raft up, eat the last oysters of the season, lots of steamed crab and National Bo beer while watching the log canoes race.
​
I've seen some claims in this thread about fast sail boats, but I would have to put the Chesapeake Log Canoe right up there alongside any mentioned.
​
For those of you not familiar with the craft, you can check them out here. The things you see on the side are hiking boards and it is normal under sail to put one to four folk out on each of those for balance. No sissy trapeze, you just sit out there and hang on.

Well Spring is long gone but ...
The Gardenias this year were fabulous and the Orange Blossoms overwhelming, the lilies flaming.
