CRUISERS: MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE 4TH OF JULY CRUISE

So what does Urbanna have in common with Salt Lake City, Lake Tahoe and Boulder? And

how does it all tie into the July 4th weekend? Be part of the traditional FBYC 4th of July

Cruise and experience a non-traditional celebration of the 4th.

We will cruise to Urbanna on Saturday the 5th and stay at Urbby Marina and be with fellow

club members and Urbby’s owners Amy and Andy Anderson for a great weekend

celebration. The town of Urbanna has contracted for the first Drone Light Show on

Chesapeake Bay in lieu of fireworks. This new form of celebration is being used by many

communities, such as those above, to replace fireworks which are expensive and can be

dangerous. While many of us have enjoyed the chest thumping booms and bangs in past

years, this newer form of celebration can be considered “sky art” and is used all over the

country to celebrate. 

Other activities to coincide with the trip are being worked on as we speak. We will have the

traditional shared picnic before the show and are working on the other details as we speak.

Don’t forget the Club’s Annual Long-Distance Race and Fourth of July Cookout on Friday

the 4th. Package it with the cruise on the 5th - 6th, and if there is interest, we can add a day or

two before returning to Deltaville cruising elsewhere after the weekend celebrations.
