Racing Rivals: Log Canoes of Chesapeake Bay

Elegant and agile, propelled by outsized sails offset by nimble crew serving as human ballast, the iconic racing fleet of Chesapeake Bay log canoes embodies tradition, speed and grace. On breezy summer weekends, those that restore, race, and revere them are out to win- but not at the expense of preserving these unique vessels and the heritage they represent.

CREATURES OF THE CHESAPEAKE

This enchanting half-hour special offers an intimate look at some of the most fascinating species in the Chesapeake Bay-- the iconic and the overlooked. Macro photography allows us to get close-- really close-- for a rare view of these creatures as they move, breathe, eat and reproduce. Watch a blue crab devour a shrimp, marvel at the simple elegance of the moon jellyfish as it glides through the water, and listen for the distinctive foghorn sound of the oyster toadfish. Along the way we’ll learn why some resilient species have been unchanged for more than 250 million years-- and which are at risk as our climate changes.

This fast-paced program peppered with eye-opening facts is a must-see for kids, adults-- and anyone with an innate curiosity about life in the deep.
