he Bartlett Cup, a beautiful silver repoussé punch bowl, was originally presented to the Commodore of the Baltimore YC in 1905. When donated to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, it was re-purposed as a perpetual trophy for a museum-sponsored log canoe race, typically the last race of the log canoe season on the Miles River. CBMM has sponsored this race since 1972 which is supported on the river by the Miles River YC’s (MRYC) sail committee. How befitting that the close of this season is highlighted by the most senior active skipper, John C. North, II winning the Cup on the log canoe Island Bird, Sunday, September 15. The awards ceremony at MRYC was a very merry occasion. Island Blossom skippered by Corbin Penwell took second place and Island Lark skippered by Mike Keene placed third. Other end of season trophies awarded were:
• First Overall on the Miles River—James H. Wilson Trophy, won by Island Blossom, skipper Corbin Penwell
• First Gun—MRYC Top Gun Trophy, won by Jay Dee, skipper Dan North • Year Overall—High Point Trophy, won by Jay Dee, skipper Dan North
