The 25th Annual Captain Steve Harman’s Poor Girl’s Open is underway and someone is going to win a record payout. Like most tournaments this year, participation is high and the payout will be one for the record books. This year there are 149 boats in the Poor Girl’s and total payout is going to be over $200,000. Governor Larry Hogan stopped by Bahia Marina today where he presented Shawn and Donna Harman with a proclamation in honor of the 25th anniversary of the event.
