The Event
The event will be held on the shore at Mallows Bay this year. Time will be 10am-2pm. With lunch at noon.
"As one paddles closer to Mallows bay, the rusty bow of an old ferry, the Accomac, breaches the water. Emerging from the distance, small dots of vegetation strangely sprinkle the bay. It is not evident one is approaching hundreds of sunken ships. However, as one paddles closer and closer, hunks of decaying wood and large iron nails can be seen, mostly inches under the water. As one carefully navigates through the debris field, outlines of dozens of football field length ships begin to emerge. It now becomes apparent one is in the largest ship graveyard fleets in North America.
Mallows bay is an incredibly scenic place. The derelict wrecks are now home to Osprey, water fowl, and other wildlife. Bald Eagles nest in the nearby trees along the shore. It once was a fun daylong adventure to paddle to this curious spot. However, the state bought the land next to the graveyard, created a park and installed a boat ramp for easy canoe and kayak access. Although it is now less of an adventure to travel to, it can now be enjoyed by many more nature and outdoor enthusiasts". -fossilguy.com
The Food
I will supply hotdogs and beans. It will be B.Y.O.D (bring your own drink) as usual. If anyone wants to bring any other food items such as deserts that would be much appreciated also. Remember you will most likely be bringing these items out to a island via boat where there are no tables or chairs.
