The Escape Pods

Welcome to episode 183 of The Shooting The Breeze Sailing Podcast (STBSP). This episode we are talking Upper Chesapeake Sailing with Facebook group founder Bryant Gorrell, and we chat about his upcoming Upper Chesapeake Boat Show and Tell, being held on the weekend of October 4-6 at Lighthouse Point Marina in Baltimore. It is a boat show for the rest of us, where you can show off your boat, look at other folks boats, talk about projects, experiences, modifications, et al.

We started talking about doing something like this years ago, thinking maybe it would be a good idea to do it at a yacht club with lots of space, maybe include a car show or motorcycle show, food trucks, and what not. This year he came across newly renovated Lighthouse Point marina, just up from Canton in Baltimore, MD and started to set things up. Then the Dali hit and collapsed the Frances Scott Key bridge, essentially closing Baltimore Harbor indefinitely, so plans were put on hold. Once the harbor opened, he set up the show for October 2024, and here we are.

The show will be a sail in event for those showing off their boats, and a come as you are for the rest of us, with happy hour events, best in show awards and lots of fun activities, set in the hip and happening neighborhood of Canton.

Check out the flyer, go over to the Upper Chesapeake Sailing group over on Facebook, and come have a great time!
