2 Featuring Dirty Drink & Dinner Specials! Wednesday, March 19, 2014 Clubhouse Deck 6:00PM Live Entertainment By: The act of sock burning began as a tradition in the town of Annapolis, MD in the mid 1980 s, according the Annapolis Maritime Museum. It is celebrated in conjunction with the spring equinox when day and night are of equal length everywhere on earth. In the boating community, it is highly frowned upon to wear socks with your shoes between the spring and fall equinox. The act of burning socks began with the boatyard employees who worked on the boats year round. Their socks would get filled with paint, sawdust, fiberglass, and other materials throughout the winter months and come spring they lit their socks on fire as a way to show their hard work was done and the boats were ready for another season. There is one exception to this sockless rule: If on a given day the temperature drops below 30 Fahrenheit and the wind gusts over 17 knots, one can wimp out and don socks. This is known as the Wimp-Chill Factor. The Erie Yacht Club will be wimp free as we host your Sock Burning Happy Hour. Ode to the Sock Burners Them Erie boys got an odd tradition When the sun swings to its Equinoxical position, They build a little fire down along the docks, They doff their shoes and they burn their winter socks. Yes, they burn their socks at the Equinox; You might think that s peculiar, but I think it s not, See, they re the same socks they put on last fall, And they never took em off to wash em, not at all So they burn their socks at the Equinox In a little ol fire burning nice and hot. Some think incineration is the only solution, Cause washin em contributes to the Lake s pollution. Through the spring and the summer and into the fall, They go around not wearin any socks at all, Just stinky bare feet stuck in old deck shoes, Whether out on the water or sippin on a brew. So if you sail into the Basin on the 19th of March, And you smell a smell like Limburger sautéed with laundry starch, You ll know you re downwind of the Erie Yacht Club docks Where they re burning their socks for the Equinox. - Jefferson Holland
