Smith Point Sea Rescue is the last remaining volunteer sea rescue service on the Chesapeake Bay.  The Smith Point Sea Rescue Unit was officially organized around 1974.  It began out of a need to provide emergency rescue services for boaters that were in distress.  They still provide this service today and are a non-profit group raising operating funds primarily through donations and the Bluefish Derby.  This is a great opportunity to enjoy some of the finest fishing, food, and music around while benefiting a worthwhile organization.  For more information on the Smith Point Sea Rescue Unit and their activities, Click here.

Yvonne,  I will miss going to the derby this year to watch the weigh ins. But the Tuna Tournament in Ocean City Maryland is just around the corner.
