The Tug 'O War




On Sat, the 8th we met Amy and Brodie (the Wonder Dog) for the Tug 'O War across Spa Creek.  It's a battle of pride between Annapolis and the Maritime Republic of Eastport.  A few years back Samson Ropes really upped the ante and donated the official tugging line.  It's ~1700 ft long at a cost of $35,000 and is a least an inch and a half thick.  These folks take this serious!!!!  They have bands, food , entertainment and oh yeah,  the beer etc tent! All the proceeds go to numerous charities in the area.  Unfortunately Eastport lost in the tie breaking Tug-off but they didn't hang their heads.........There's always next year!!!  We had a blast with Amy and her friends Cara and Alice!
