Nov 27, 2024 | soundingsonline.com | Hugo Kugiya

The Coho Ho Ho is a relatively new and small cruising rally that departs from Puget Sound usually on the last Sunday in August and ends a few weeks later for some in San Francisco and for others in San Diego. Over the last 10 years, the fleet has averaged 12 boats per year, and the rally has been the opening act for the more popular and older Baja Ha-Ha rally in the fall from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.

ShareBy the late 1980s, a sign had been planted on Rowe Boulevard, the main arterial that rolls over Weems Creek and College Creek into the center of Annapolis, declaring the city “America’s Sailing Capital.” The sign lasted into the 1990s, although it eventually was moved to the other side of town, in Eastport at the foot of the Spa Creek drawbridge. Ellen Moyer, who would become the city’s first woman mayor in 2001, helped popularize the unofficial honorific.

By the late 1980s, a sign had been planted on Rowe Boulevard, the main arterial that rolls over Weems Creek and College Creek into the center of Annapolis, declaring the city “America’s Sailing Capital.”“That context was the first time I ever saw or heard the phrase,” said David Gendell, a lifelong Annapolis sailor and the author of two books about sailing in the Chesapeake Bay.
Three friends, brought together by war, reflect on a year after Oct. 7

Oct 6, 2024 | thebaltimorebanner.com | Hugo Kugiya

Three women, previously unrelated. Except that they are residents of Baltimore, a small city in the big scheme of things, in a world that is figuratively getting smaller just as their city literally is as well. They were joined about a year ago after a war broke out on Oct. 7 far away from their homes but close to their hearts and minds. A war that really started a long time ago and not only hasn’t ended, but has gotten larger and bloodier.

For 13 years, Diane Kraus has parried her disease’s every blow with rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, some of them ineffective, all of them with a cost — nausea, confusion, vertigo, pain — which she also parried with more drugs. “I want to live,” said Kraus, who was diagnosed in 2011 with metastatic breast cancer. “I want to be around.

Key Bridge collapse: The bridge held a place in the hearts of sailors

For sailors, the Francis Scott Key Bridge has always been a waypoint, marking the beginning — or the end — of journeys. It is the symbolic entrance to, and exit from, Baltimore, its waterborne threshold. Even as wreckage, it still is. Six months ago, the span collapsed as the Dali cargo ship lost power and struck a support pier. But the Key Bridge’s powerful symbolism to sailors remains. At the bridge, the weather conditions and sea state change. So, too, does the scenery.

The Key Bridge is gone but its debris lives on

Sometime in August, dump trucks delivered the final load of Patapsco River mud, dredged from the sea bed during the cleanup of the Key Bridge collapse, to the Kinsley landfill in Deptford Township, New Jersey, about 15 miles outside Philadelphia. The mud, which contained random debris that came up with it and had to be picked clean, was the last of the materials contractors disposed of after the remnants of the bridge were dismantled and removed.
