9/27/14: Cambridge Race 2014

Unfortunately the Ida May was unable to race at the 2014 Choptank Heritage Races in Cambridge MD. Our yawl boat's engine died on us on the trip up and we were unable to make it in time for the race. Congratulations to Captain Wadie Murphy of the Rebecca Ruark for winning the race two years in a row.

9/1/2014: Ida May 2nd Place Finish at Deal Island Skipjack Races; Helen Virginia 1st!

The Ida May won 2nd Place at the Deal Island Skipjack Races. Captain John Price did an outstanding job and we congratulate the Helen Virginia, Captain Katarina Ennerfelt, and her all woman crew for capturing the 1st place trophy! I thought that the Ida May was the fastest boat on the Chesapeake Bay, but I think that distinction might belong to the Helen Virginia now. We will see what happens in the Cambridge Race in a few weeks.
