 Commodore's Cup 10/3-10/4 This overnight regatta features a pursuit start on both days, and is a popular weekend event for RBSA. Years past have seen the fleet end day one on the South River, St Mikes and Herring Bay. This year the race will be to the Deep Creek on the Magothy River and then back. We plan on dinner at the Deep Creek restaurant, which is convenient for non-racing friends and family to come join in the post race party. We usually raft up for cocktails and story telling. Guitar playing is encouraged, and we can expect great weather for sleeping aboard your boat!
