\u00a0The event is sponsored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aacounty.org\/RecParks\/parks\/index.cfm#.U97CWVbCe0c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anne Arundel Rec and Parks<\/a>, <a

paddle powered water craft (aka car top boats) were available for folks to try out at Mayo on Sunday, June 29th.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you event chair Mike McCormick and his essential event partners Ann Jackson and Maureen Pritchard for putting Fun Fest\u00a0together. \u00a0\u00a0They took care of all the logistics, worked with AA County staff and our sponsors, and made\u00a0sure we had a delicious lunch and lots of refreshing drinks to power us through the day. \u00a0Event sponsor Outdoor Architects (owned by BABA member Mark Storch) generously contributed the funds to provide lunch for everyone at the event. \u00a0Fun Fest included a Taste of Windsurfing, stand up paddling, kayaking and canoeing, and a slalom &amp; formula racing and tuning clinic for advanced windsurfers. \u00a0Jon Fleuchaus and Helen Van Gelder took pictures for the blog, and Becky Belogay, Afi Chamlou, Kathy Iseri, Eddie Murawski and Albert Pritchard helped with logistics, lunch, clean-up and whatever else needed doing.<\/p>\n<p>BABA is a strong organization because we have devoted members who take charge\u00a0and do great\u00a0work for the club and the community. \u00a0Thank you all!<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading &#8211; it was a fun filled day, and there are lots more pictures too!\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-880 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure

on-land simulation and on the water coaching. \u00a0\u00a0Janice Emerling, Warren Evans and Sandy Rollins helped coach the 20+ participants on the water and we saw lots of people of all ages learning \u00a0basic skills and getting a taste of our sport. \u00a0Several BABA members loaned their beginner-friendly and kid-friendly gear, including Mark, Daphne, Janice, Dave Iseri and Dary Lofgren. \u00a0That meant the <em>Taste<\/em>\u00a0participants got plenty of time on the water to\u00a0work on basic windsurfing skills including up-hauling, turning around (180) and sailing away and returning to shore successfully. \u00a0A few familiar faces from the BABA Learn to Windsurf with Ultimate Watersports showed up and made a little more progress on the skills they learned the week before. \u00a0Congratulations to all the <em>Taste of Windsurfing<\/em>\u00a0participants, and thanks to the volunteers who made it possible.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-880

more than ready with sail tuning skills, speed techniques and racing tactics for the next big wind day. \u00a0Thanks for sharing your stoke and expertise Christophe!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3'
