On September 26, 2020, Chris Hopkinson from Arnold was the first person to ever transit the entire length of the Chesapeake Bay.... on a stand up paddleboad! It took 9 days to do it, but along the way Chris got to experience something most of us never will in a way that ever fewer will. One man, one paddle, one board. Gliding 8" off the surface of the third largest estuary in the world.  All for 20 million oysters! Chris padddled to help the Oyster Recovery Partnership plant the bivalves that do so much to clean the Bay.

And while his paddle is done, his efforts are ongoing. There is still a bit of money to raise to get to his $200,000 goal. Plus Salt Life will be coming out with a line of t-shirts to benefit the cause, adn Chris is planning to turn this into some type of annual event. Would he do it again? What was the biggest challenge? What was the biggest reward? Did he almost call it quits? How bad does one smell after paddling the Chesapeake Bay for 9 days?  Have a listen and get your answers in our follow up podcast! And for sure, go to BayPaddle.org and make a contribution! You can text BAYPADDLE to 44321 to quickly and easily donate $10.  And while you are there, check out the excellent blog of the voyage complete with video along with the highs and the lows!

Dave Gendell is a lifelong Annapolitan, who is the author of a new book, Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse: A Chesapeake Bay Icon.

And you can get yours now!

Dave has spent his life around this lighthouse and spent a lot of time researching the history, from the origins to the present. For any fan of the Chesapeake Bay or lighthouses, this should definitely make your fall reading (or holiday) list!

We connected with Dave to learn a bit more about the book and the lighthouse itself as he has become THE expert on the history of this true icon of the Bay.  

Have a listen! And give Dave a follow as well: Insta : @DavidGendell Twitter: @DGendell

The Gateway Florist has been around for forty years. Twenty on West Street and 20 on Bay Ridge Road. In what owner, Teresa Williams calls a dying industry, they are doing something right!

They have a full plate, went through some expansion with the addition of Academy Flowers (King George and College) and a full reservation book of events, weddings and receptions!  The secret sauce? Being a locally owned small business that pays attention to details.   The Gateway Florist is the last of the small, locally owned florists in Annapolis and they are, hands down, my personal choice for flowers!

Have a listen!

Remember when there wasn't a square of toilet paper to be found? Lysol is still not readily available. The local hardware store has an abundance of liquid hand sanitizer and the local liquor store is still having some issues with some imports. Today we speak with Jared Littmann from K&B True Value Hardware and Dave Marberger from Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits to talk about the difficulties of managing inventories and second guessing customer demand during a pandemic. 

And along the way, we talk about the fantastic program founded by K&B True Value Hardware and recently joined by Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits and Severn Bank to put much needed money into our local schools--but act quick; the program ends October 31st.  The gist--customers make a donation to the school of their choice at K&B True Value Hardware and that donation is matched up to $5000 each from the three businesses. They are on track to distribue $30,000 to our local schools.  Have a listen!
