The
Tug of War is a family event that brings out the brave citizens
of the Maritime Republic of Eastport and many other friends
and visitors.

The
first year it took a real surveyor (and an unreal team) to
figure out how long the rope across the harbor had to be.
Led by registered purveyor John Dowling, the party stands
on the Eastport side next to the Chart House.

special rope made by Yale Cordage especially for this event,
framed by the Maritime Republic of Eastport's flag.

Uncoiling
the rope and getting it from the MRE side across the water
to the Annapolis side calls for a truck and a sturdy boat.
|
In
Tugs of War, size does matter!
|
Bravado
is half the battle.
