You aren't likely to run into Julianne Fettus at Target, or the library, or the gas station. They're all far too inland for Julianne. You will, however, find her on the water: in a dinghy watching a distance race set off, crewing for friends either on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or any weekend of the year, just hanging around the yacht club, waiting to pick up some award, or browsing the aisles at Fawcetts, where her husband Rob is a manager. This is because Fettus is an aquaphile of the most advanced type.

Fettus has been a member of the Century Club since its inception in 2014, and this year she's taken on the SpinSheet Racing Team as well. Here is how she's stacking up (and it's impressive, since she sails every race with the massive handicap that is the DFL Chicken as a spare crewmember).

Series: AYC Winter Frostbite Series and EYC Friday Night Beer Can Racing
Charity Regatta: Leukemia Cup onboard Pay Ray's Catalina 350 DreamBuilder (10th in the Leukemia Cruising Class) and hopefully also the CRAB Regatta later in August.
Volunteer Day: "I volunteered with the EYC Foundation's Career Day with MTAM for STEM students at Annapolis HS on February 27th. And I also do RC once in a blue moon."
Two Distance or Multi-Day Regattas: "Miles River and the Race back, however the boat I was on pulled out of the race back due to lack of wind and a final destination of North East, MD.  I'll throw in the PSA  Moonlight Race (35.6 NM) in there, the EYC Boomerang (62NM - First Place and Line Honors), and Governor's Cup (approx. 70NM)."
Three Other Regattas: Gibson Island, BCYA/MRSA Race to Baltimore, NASS Race to Oxford and Hammond Regatta back, HdGYC Invitational,  BCYA Baltimore Harbor Cup, Leftover Bowl
