This weekend (Sept 12-13) on Maryland’s Eastern Shore you can check out a tradition unique to the Chesapeake Bay – log canoe racing. Log canoes are historic boats…on steroids. Their masts are so tall, their sails so large that they have a tendency to tip. A few weeks back I went out to Oxford, Maryland to learn more about these crazy canoes.  My story about them and the interesting bunch of folks who race them every summer airs today on Metro Connection on WAMU.
