Carters Creek Heritage Cruise
Saturday, October 22, 2022

Join us on a Carters Creek heritage cruise, in beautiful and historic Irvington, Virginia, 22 October 2022.

Carter’s Creek lies to Starboard, about a mile upstream of the Whitestone Bridge on the Rappahannock River.

We will dock at the Tides Inn Marina or anchor out in the first protected cove to Starboard, as you head further up Carters Creek (Across from Premier Sailing). 

 Dockage may include access to bicycles. Tide’s Inn contact information is given below.  Please make your own reservation.

We will provide dinghy landing information as we get closer to the event.

Plan to dock or drop the hook in time to join the group on the Tides Inn Docks by 1130 to finalize plans for the day.

Lunch options include BYO, “The Local” (a popular sandwich shop 0.6 miles away) in “downtown” Irvington, and two or three other eateries, including Tide’s Inn.
