Join the Miles-Wye Riverkeeper, ShoreRivers, and the Eastport Oyster Boys (EOB) for the end of summer Shaw Bay Raft-Up Party on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 4-6:30 p.m. This annual on-the-water benefit concert is a must for cruisers of all persuasions. Bring your dingy, paddle board, kayak, sailboat, boat and join the floating raft party behind the EOB concert pontoon. This free concert will be held in Shaw Bay, near the mouth of the Wye River. Donations are kindly accepted.
All donations from the concert go toward the operation of ShoreRivers’ pumpout boat based at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels. Since May 2016, the pumpout boat has pumped almost 25,000 gallons of waste that would have otherwise polluted the Miles and Wye Rivers. The pumpout boat operates Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, as well as on holidays through October 7. Pumpouts may be scheduled on VHF Channel 9 or by calling 410.829.4352.
