I am hosting a giveaway from Gybe-Ho Boatwear for a twill hat (I am partial to the pink) and a custom t-shirt. The lucky winner will get to design a t-shirt of their choice. You can create a t-shirt with coordinates, your state, boat letters or just the Gybe-Ho logo.

“jibe-ho” is called when the boom is starting to come across the sailboat as a reminder to duck.

Annapolis Sailboat Show II

Pusser's had a stand at the Boat Show that sold Painkillers. Oh what fun it was to sip Painkillers on a beautiful day while looking at gorgeous sailboats.

2 oz Pusser's dark rum
4 oz pineapple juice
1 oz cream of coconut
1 oz orange juice
Serve on the rocks and grate fresh nutmeg on the top.

 Painkiller's come in three strengths.

 A highlight for me was getting some new grocery bags.

JCW couldn't wait to check out the new Sperry Store that just opened in downtown Annapolis.

 He picked up some new sailing shoes.

I was drawn to the metallic boat shoes but wasn't sure I could pull them off.

The last stop of the evening was the Federal House for crab dip and fish tacos.

Annapolis Sailboat Show I

It's hard to believe that just three weeks before the first snow we had summertime weather for the Annapolis Sailboat Show.

 JCW & EAS




There were lots of sailboats to explore.

It was fun checking out the booths and finding new vendors like the Belted Cow.

We stopped by Fawcett in JCW's quest for the perfect sailing shoe.

Sea Fever had lots of bags and accessories made of recycled sails.

Poppy & Matthew

Earlier this month we attended a wedding at Green Spring Valley Hunt Club. The club is known for their Southsides and they happened to be the signature drink.

Cocktail hour was held on the golf course at sunset.

The club dates back to 1892.

The fox head logo is on just about everything.

Instead of a sit down dinner there were tables filled with all different types of food...everything from mini crabs cakes to sushi.

The tent had several different seating areas and I loved the pink & green lanterns as a backdrop.

I got to meet the bride's brother Hoby and her sister in-law Christina. You may recognize them from Summer in Newport...they are very close friends of Kristin Pearce. Christina has an amazing blog with recipes and party planning tips.

 EAS & JCW

 The cake was decorated with flowers and ferns.

JCW loading up his plate with late night eats...there were sweet potato fries, mini burgers, hot dogs and grill cheese sandwiches.

The favors were tumblers that said "Poppy & Matthew" with the wedding date.

JCW & Poppy...she designed her own wedding dress complete with ruffles and bows.

The tumblers are such a great keepsake and perfect for southsides!

Reminder...today is the last day to enter my Shabby Apple giveaway for the Bow Skirt.
