June 19July 4: TWO-WEEK
CRUISE
This cruise will have 3 facets: 1) a
circumnavigation of the Delmarva Peninsula, 2) a cruise up the Bay,
meeting the circumnavigators, 3) rendezvous group to join groups 1 and
2 at St. Marys. The circumnavigators will start EARLY on Saturday
morning, traveling down the Bay, hopefully joining some Southern Bay
cruisers to travel up the coast to the first stop at Cape May.
Obviously a close eye must be kept on the weather as the purpose is to
enjoy an ocean sail and not to have an endurance test. This is an easy
trip for a couple (having done it twice). We will stay at the South
Jersey Marina, which has deep water for those with 7 drafts and is
very convenient to town. We will spend a couple of days sightseeing,
eating, and shopping. Then we will move on to Chesapeake City,
Sassafras, Baltimore, Annapolis, St. Michaels, Solomons, and then St.
Marys. Those not interested in the ocean experience will meet the
circumnavigation group at the Sassafras. Those electing a one-week
cruise are invited to rendezvous at Annapolis or St. Marys. The
objective is to have as many participants as possible in some part of
this trip as we are hoping to have a very enjoyable two weeks. The
entire group will rendezvous at St. Marys on Friday, July 2, for their
concert and fireworks show. On Saturday, we will sail down to Reedville
for their 4
th of July celebration, returning to
FBYC on Sunday. Some cruisers may wish to take a side venture as Monday
is a holiday. Cruise Chair: Joe Schott at
