This cruise is designed for ‘offshore’ participants, new and seasoned cruisers and family weekenders. Whether you’re thinking of a ‘first’ cruise, or are a regular, join us on this shorter, fun filled family weekend ‘close to home’. Plan on leaving the FBYC docks mid-morning on Saturday and join us at the Tides Inn pool area at your leisure. Located 11 statute miles from Windmill Point on Carter’s Creek, the Tides Marina offers a full service 24 slip transient marina able to accommodate any FBYC vessel. When entering Carter’s Creek, contact the Tides Inn Dock Master on VHF Channel 16 and mention FBYC for slip location directions. After you dock, come ashore to enjoy excellent shower and bath facilities and “Best of the Bay” dining and lounges. Once we have a participant count, we’ll schedule group dinner reservations at the Chesapeake Club offering ‘Contemporary America’s Bistro Cuisine’, panoramic views, and entertainment nightly. The poolside grill is an excellent alternative for children who prefer America’s staples, hamburgers and dogs. The slip rate, fees and included services can be found at: https:/www.tidesinn.com/chesapeake_bay_marina/
We’ve pre-booked a block of slips in advance, but, kindly confirm your individual reservations at the Tides by contacting Stormy, Tides Inn Dock Master, 800-843-3746 no later than Saturday July 20.
To get an estimate for participation and dining reservations, please register at www.fbyc.net by July 20 as well. Questions to Ed O’Connor, ed.oconnor@verizon.net, 804-338-1142.
