Cruising the gunkholers' way!

Come join Calypso and her crew on a week-long cruise somewhere between FBYC and St. Mary's City. We leave the morning after the Cruise Regatta and will return to the docks on Sunday, August 6.

Anyone interested in cruising, anyone interested in cruising . . . Calypso, Calypso. Switch and answer channel 71.

The latest cruise in a jam-packed club cruising schedule begins on July 30, the morning after the Cruise Regatta. We’ll gather for coffee and chitchat at Fannie’s House at around 9:00 am and look at the wind, weather, and whim to decide on our first destination in a week-long look at Calypso’s brand of the cruising life. General plans have us reaching St. Mary’s City before heading back south to rendezvous with the Family Cruise at Yopp’s Creek on August 5, but weather and experience have been known to change cruising plans in an instant. (Cruisers say their plans are “set in mud”.) In any case, the week will be filled with a variety of anchorages, shore experiences, camaraderie, and pure fun. (We’d like to see if we can meet our record of 10 people for dinner on board our 28’ boat!)

As planning for anchorages depends in part on the number of boats and the ages of the participants, letting us know you are planning to come with us will help tremendously. Please sign up on the web (go to cruising events on the “sailing events” link at the top of this page, or wait for a day or two for the event to be in the “next 10” and available on the home page!), email Nica and Jeremy at sailingbeagles@gmx.net, or call Nica at work at (434) 296-1303, x 225. Questions and comments are more than welcome; hope to see you all out there!
