“Cruising the Gunkholer’s Way” Cruise  July 29 (or 30) – August 5

 

Calling all gunkholers!  (experienced, wanna-be, or just curious . . .)  Come join us for a cruise that emphasizes family interests, short sails, last-minute decisions, and interesting shore jaunts. After amusing triumphs and great racing adventures at the Cruise Regatta, we’ll attend the awards ceremony and dinner party to share our tales with everyone. If so motivated, we’ll stroll across the road, cast off dock lines, and promptly drop the hook in lovely Jackson Creek. If not, we’ll wake up on Sunday, gather for coffee at Fannie’s House, and head out sometime in the morning. The week will continue in a leisurely vein, with a rough plan to make it as far north as St. Mary’s City. Stops along the way will be weather and whim dependent, but may include Pirate’s Island, Horn Harbor, Mill Creek, or the Coan River. Heck, we might even go across the Bay to Tangier or Crisfield! Dinners will be part of the adventure, with a beach barbecue, a potluck dinner on board Calypso, and even a possible dinner out, to say nothing of quiet evenings and shared merriment. Sundowners to be hosted by various boats, with the adage the more the merrier. Rafting up a possibility. Instruction on anchoring, provisioning, stowage, and boat cookery available if anyone wants! Musical instruments and board games encouraged. We’ll plan for our final sail to take us to Yopp’s Creek on Saturday, August 5, where we will meet up with the Family Cruise (chaired by John Koedel III) crowd for continued camaraderie. Contact Nica or Jeremy Waters (434 295-1016, sailingbeagles@gmx.net) to let us know you are coming! Reservations can also be made at www.fbyc.net.
