2009 Fall Cruise

We are looking forward to seeing the entire cruising fleet together again in September for the Fall Cruise! Plans for the Fall Cruise are shaping up as follows:

The fleet will gather in Oxford on Thursday September 17. The opening cocktail party will be at the Tred Avon Yacht Club that evening.

Skippers will gather in the morning of Friday, September 18 for the Skippers' Meeting. We will then leave the harbor and, wind permitting, sail a friendly race in the vicinity of the Choptank River.

After the finish of the race, we will anchor for the usual visiting among the fleet, swapping of sea stories, hors d'oeuvres, etc. Anchorage to be determined.

The next day, Saturday September 19, there will be a second race. That evening, there will be entertainment and dinner at the Cambridge Yacht Club in Cambridge, MD, where the trophies will be given out.

The fleet will disband Sunday morning, giving everyone a day to get back to home port.

Race Committee Chairman Roel Hoekstra promises splendid fall weather and the usual flawless race management.

Our cruises are a great way to explore the beautiful Chesapeake Bay, participate in a couple of friendly races, and get together with friends and family. If you have anything that floats, you should not miss this wonderful opportunity. It is not necessary to race, of course. We welcome any motorboats or cruising boats that want to go along for the fun of it or anyone that just does not feel like racing.
