Captains Choice Cruise October 2nd and 3rd, 2004
Following a potluck supper on Friday night, the Captains of "Inn-the-Mood", "Obsession", "Nugget", and "Magic" huddled in front of the TV set at the Clubhouse to determine just when the skies would open on Saturday. Joe Schott predicted safe winds and weather in such a convincible manner that all boats decided to brave the elements and sail to The Corrotoman at Noon on Saturday.
Joe was right . . . a great sail up the Rappahannock in time for all boats. We rafted and then boarded Nugget for an early evening cruise to every single tributary on the west branch. No small creek ( even 20 ft wide ) was too small, and no shoal too …

We have canceled this weekends cruise and rescheduled it for Oct. 30-31, Sat.-Sunday.
Unfortunately, everyone but us, was committed to another activity for this weekend, so I thought we might try it again, using a two day format, for Oct. 30-31.

The format will be the same in that I'll make a decision as to the best location to go, depending on the currents, winds, etc. I'll post the destination on the website and …

FBYC's Jim Covington, aboard Sunrise, grabbed the coveted, first place overall at the annual Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta this past weekend at Yankee Point Marina.
