TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning, it is Thursday, April 13th, 2023, and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief presented by Annapolis Subaru and the SPCA of Anne Arundel County.
Weed like to wish you a happy 4-20 day! See what I did there? Ha! OK, it’s time for some news so, let’s get into it, shall we?
An odd police report from down in Lothian. On Tuesday at 930 am police responded to a burglary in progress on Mullen Lane. The female resident said she heard things breaking and a male voice that she did not recognize. The suspect fled before the police arrived. The woman’s husband said he thought it was a relative that lived next door that committed the burglary. While police were collecting evidence, they heard a scuffle and found the suspect assaulting the husband. Police learned that the suspect returned to the property and was confronted by the husband. So, the 22-year-old relative neighbor was arrested and charged!
Yesterday I took an extended walk and checked out the new CRAB facility on Back Creek and it is beautiful. CRAB is the Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating and they provide adaptive boating for those with mobility issues. The City of Annapolis purchased a marina and has leased it to CRAB and it is the only adaptive facility in the nation. The total cost was $6 million to build and it was done without any taxpayer funds. Their fleet has 10 vessels all adapted for those with mobility issues and can handle wheelchairs and more. A grand opening is scheduled for early May. This is one amazing asset for the City.
As long as we’re talking sailing. If you want to sail. Or maybe you sail and need a crew. Spin Sheet has you covered! As the sailing season opens, Spin Sheet is hosting crew parties across the Bay to connect sailors with mates and mates with sailors. Saturday is the first one at marker 20 in Hampton, VA, and then Sunday in Solomons at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association, and finally here in Annapolis on Sunday, April 30th after the Spring Sailboat Show at the Eastport Yacht Club. Check out spinsheet.com for more info and all the details and get out on the water!
