nice report. Sorry, I''m not among the paddling elite who all probably all know where Wye Island is located ?
For us unwashed masses in the hinterlands, what state is this or country if applicable ?

Te,

The Wye Island Regatta is put on by the Annapolis Rowing Club as a
circumnavigation of Wye Island and is open to any human-powered boat.
Wye Island is on the eastern shore of Maryland where the Wye River(s)
empty into the Cheaspeake Bay

As such an "open" race it draws a wonderful variety of boats. Lots of
8 and 4 person shells, twos and singles as well, canoes and kayaks and
outriggers and guideboats and dories and wherries and gigs and sea
cycles. Just checking out the boat entries is half the fun.
