embers of the Herrington Harbour Sailing Association (HHSA) (left) are ready to spend much of the next few months on the water. Fall cruises include local and international sailing, with nearly 20 sailors heading to Greece for 10 days on the Mediterranean Sea. Those of us staying behind will have plenty of HHSA racing events and cruises to keep ourselves occupied. Themed cruises include the Tom Cruise (all things Tom: Tom Collins, stuffed Tom-atoes, crab Tom-malley, much Tom-foolery… you get the idea), the Oktoberfest Cruise, the Pirate Cruise, and the annual Halloween Cruise to St. Michaels. Racers from Herring Bay are back from Annapolis Race Week over Labor Day weekend, with several HHSA boats posting admirable results. After the Fall Oxford Race and the race home, we’ll have a few local races, including the 26-mile Marathon race from Herring Bay to Solomons before getting into our Frostbite Series. Lookin’ for a fun place to sail with a great group of people, regardless of the type of boat you sail or whether you race, cruise, or do both? Check out hhsa.org for more information! —by Joe Laun
