Aug 9-10		Overnight River Event Mattawoman Creek/Sweden Point, with dinner at Tim's Rivershore Restaurant Saturday, August 9 - Sunday, August 10 Let's head down the river for some crab cakes! Sail down and feast, sleep over and sail some more! What better way to celebrate the lazy, hazy days of summer? Jack Weaver has volunteered to serve as organizer for this event, and details are being finalized. At Tim's, boats can either tie up at the dock or drop the hook and take the water taxi ashore. After dinner, boats can either raft-up inside the mouth of Mattawoman Creek or go into Sweden Point Marina ($1 a foot buys you a hot shower!). For further information, contact Jack at longweav@juno.com.

A graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Class of 1945 (which was graduated a year early in 1944 because of the war), he also trained on the Tall Ship Danmark, which was at the Academy during the war. He served aboard the USS Taney at the Battle of Okinawa. He resigned his Commission in 1947 after three years of sea duty that included two voyages to the Far East and two to Europe.
