Annapolis Yacht Club - Burning

[Richard Shead]

To the ground if anyone on here is familiar with it... Very sad indeed ...

That's awful, some old friends have been members for years.

That''s quite a fire if it started in the christmas tree.

Ironically the same day as the illuminated sail past.

Very sad indeed , I have been frequenting it for 20 years, admittedly once a year but always part of the trip. A great shame and yes, quite some fire.

How sad. I have many happy memories of being taken there at weekends when I was a child. My father crewed a Flying Dutchman for a quite inept and aged American doctor, who inadvertently provided much entertainment over the years with tales of his incompetence. One always hoped that his professional abilities were in variance to his racing skills, but he was career USN.....

Massive shame.
We have spent a lot of time in Annapolis and been made very welcome by the sailing folk there.

Sad news, we spent a couple of weeks there and have many happy memories
I'm sure they will be up and running again very soon.
