If you have never seen a Skipjack up close now is your chance! I will agree that docked they look alot like most any other boat at a pier but such water vessels as these are disappearing from our Eastern Shore lives.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to observe part of the yearly Skipjack Races from our boat. There is absolutely nothing else on the water that has the Skipjacks grace and beauty.
The Delmarva Discovery Center has activities planned for Saturday from 2 to 4 PM. Please go to the link below the photos to read about the Ida May and to inform yourself on this reception you really don't want to miss.
