Potluck Supper
2019-08-17 18:00 (America/New_York) | Salem Willows Yacht Club, 190 Fort Ave, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
Hello to all – due to a strange set of circumstances and miscommunications, the Heritage Day Race, Pizza Dinner and Fireworks WILL NOT be on Sunday, August 4th but rather be on Sunday August 11th. Skippers Meeting at 2:00pm, Race at 3:00pm, Pizza at 6:00pm, Fireworks at dark. Beverly has decided to have their Heritage Days from August 2-11 and Salem this year is having their Heritage days for two weeks from August 2-11.

That being said, the Potluck Supper and Brownie Back-off planned for Saturday August 10th will now be held on August 17th at 6:00pm, since it would be too much to have it all on one weekend.

I will post sign up sheets at the club with the correct dates and times. Hope to see you there.

Sorry for the confusion.

USCG Barque Eagle in Salem
2019-08-09 00:00 - 2019-08-12 00:00 | Salem Wharf, 10 Blaney Street, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
The United States Coast Guard Barque Eagle is sailing toward Salem this summer! She will arrive mid-morning on Friday, August 9 and she will be in port a Salem Wharf, 10 Blaney Street, until August 12.
EAGLE, also known as “America’s Tall Ship” is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes and the only square-rigger in U.S. government service. The ship was built in 1936 in Germany, and commissioned as Horst Wessel, one of three sail training ships operated by the pre-World War II German navy. At the close of World War II, Horst Wessel was taken as a war reparation by the United States, recommissioned as the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle and sailed to New London, Connecticut. Eagle provides an unparalleled at-sea leadership and professional development experience for future officers of the U.S. Coast Guard.
