Downrigging Weekend

I wanted to visit the schooner Sultana as an activity to do during the Long Cruise next week, but unfortunately she'll be in Cambridge throughout, and not back to Annapolis until the day after.
But, while looking for that information I came across the Downrigging Weekend 2008 page and omigosh I want to go!

Several tall ships are attending--including the Kalmar Nyckel, Pride of Baltimore II, schooner Virginia, A.J. Meerwald, Lady Maryland--and there will be fireworks, a showing of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a lighted ship display...and a dinner with members of the crews of said tall ships.

I think Sea Scout Ship 7916 should take a field trip, don't you?

According to the Sultana's website, the vessel will be in Chestertown MD from August 13 to September 26. That's on the Chesapeake Bay, where you will be on your long cruise.
