FBYC will host the USODA 2004 Atlantic Coast Championships on October 9-10, 2004 (race days). Many visiting sailors from the Atlantic Coast are expected to need accomodations at least the nights of October 8 and 9. We are hearing from registrants that there is concern about accomodations for this event in the immediate area. While there are limited accomodations in Deltaville, there are plenty of rooms in the surrounding area within 25 miles on high quality, fast moving, rural highways, particularly in the Gloucester (Comfort Inn), Kilmarnock (Holiday Inn Express), Irvington (Tides Lodge), Topping (Pilot House Inn), and White Stone (Whispering Pines Motel)areas. A number of currently available accomodations (totaling 145 rooms) within 25 miles (and within 30 minutes or less) of FBYC were identified the weekend of July 31 by the Event Chair. There are also two campgrounds, Grey's Point (Vehicles) and Bush Point (Vehicles or Tents). More complete information will be made available shortly by the Opti travel agent (betzsailing@broadviewnet.net) and on the FBYC Website. Don't be concerned. We have plenty of rooms and we expect to accomodate overruns in private housing for an administrative fee to be determined. Let's quickly utilize the available commercial space first. Don't let accomodations deter you from attending this event!
