Interesting
cruising opportunities abound for club members in 2014. Check out this list of
cruises and plan on joining the Cruising Fleet for good times, camaraderie and adventure
on the Bay and beyond. We will tie up at marinas, visit other yacht clubs,
anchor out, and enjoy all the good things that our wonderful cruising area has
to offer.
The season
kicks off on May 3rd with a shakedown cruise to Tabbs Creek, where
we will be hosted by Charles and Sue Springett. Later in the month we will
cruise the southern bay with visits to some of our fellow yacht clubs,
including Mathews, Hampton and Norfolk.
In early
June we will sail to Norfolk for “Harborfest”, and toward the end of the month
we will cruise up the Potomac to Washington, DC, for the Fourth of July
celebrations. Early in July a group of boats will sail to Maine, planning to
return by the end of August. Later in July we will reprise the popular kids’
cruise previously hosted by Frank and Grace Ann Miller.
In the heat
of August we will visit Crisfield for some good seafood and will continue on to
the nearby, but seldom visited destination of Smith Island. The September Long
Fall Cruise will depart from Dymer Creek on the morning after the Sarnowski
Labor Day Party. Destinations are yet to be decided, but Baltimore is a
possibility. October, one of the best sailing months on the Bay, will likely
have two cruises; one of them may be a “cruise-in” to the Annapolis YC, similar
to the visit made last year to the Tred Avon YC.
Details and
dates are still subject to change. More information will be available in future
issues of Headway and will be posted on the club website. In the meantime, if
you have any questions or want to offer suggestions, contact any of the cruise
leaders listed on the chart below, or the Cruising Fleet Commander, Ted Kvell.
