CRUISE WEEK PREVIEW

 

For those of you planning on enjoying the two week cruise this summer, here is the preliminary information for you to consider.

 

Cruise Week 2 will have a different format this year as the extended cruise will leave Hampton Roads a week in advance of the one week cruise and meet the one week cruisers on the return leg. The highlight of this years cruise will be a two night stop in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The two week cruise will depart Hampton Roads on Saturday, June 21 and is scheduled to return on Sunday, July 6. The tentative itinerary is listed below.

 

Saturday - June 21: Piankatank River (marina or anchorage)

Sunday - June 22: Solomons (marina or anchorage)

Monday - June 23: Herrington Harbor South (marina) or West/Rhode River (anchorage) depending on weather

Tuesday - June 24: Annapolis (marina or mooring ball)

Wednesday - June 25: Baltimore Inner Harbor East Marina

Thursday - June 26: Baltimore Inner Harbor East Marina

Friday - June 27: Worton Creek (marina, mooring ball or anchorage)

Saturday - June 28: Rock Hall (marina or anchorage)

Sunday - June 29: Wye River (anchorage)

Friday - July 4: Chrisfield-Spring Cove Marina

We are trying to get an approximate boat count for the two week cruise. If you are planning on going, please contact Jim Dombey at jfandlasailingd@juno.com and let him know that you are planning on coming. This will help in planning any other events during the cruise. There will be a Captain's meeting on Wednesday, June 11, so mark that date on your calendar.

 

Also, Fleet 30 has a block of slips reserved at the Inner Harbor East Marina in Baltimore. The cost is $2.10 per foot. You should call the marina directly at 410-625-1700 to reserve a slip. Tell Captain Bill that you are with Hampton Roads Fleet 30 Sailing Club. Reservations should be made before June 10. Baltimore's Inner Harbor can be quite busy at that time of year.

 

Jim Dombey will be sending out info on the Spring Cove Marina reservations as that stopover will include the one week cruisers as well.

 

We have an exciting and aggressive schedule for this year's cruise and hope that the weather cooperates. In any event, we will be flexible.

 

We will be sending out more information as we get closer to the dates.
