Chesapeake Bay Summer Cruise

[Aldo]

This year my wife and I are in charge of C-22 Fleet 10's Summer Cruise. Fleet 10 is centered around Annapolis, Maryland. We are getting started very late this year, but if you are interested, we would certainly like you to join us. Please decide by March 30st, so that we can reserve slips at the marinas that we will be staying at. (If this isn't enough time, still reply and tell us that you are interested). There are a few new destinations that many of us have wanted to visit, and we really hope you will be able to join us. E-mail us at aa.camacci@comcast.net if you have any further questions.I should also mention that not all of the boats that sail with us are Catalina 22s, in fact, not all of them are Catalinas. AldoHere is the itinerary for our cruise:The cruise will start Saturday, June 24. On Saturday, June 24, we will meet at Haven Harbour on Swan Creek. This is where we will have a catered picnic. Haven Harbor has a pool, ice, and gas. http://www.havenharbour.com/On Sunday we will anchor at Worton or Fairlee Creek (approx. 15 NM). On Monday we will stay at Skipjack Cove on the Sassafrass River (approx. 20 NM). Skipjack Cove has a pool, ice, gas, and laundry. http://www.skipjackcove.com/On Tuesday we will anchor at Veazy Cove on the Bohemia River (approx. 20 NM). On Wednesday we will go on the C&D canal (approx. 10 NM) and stay at Chesapeake Inn and Marina. The Chesapeake Inn and Marina has ice, and gas nearby. http://www.chesapeakeinn.com/On Thursday we will anchor at Still Pond Creek (approx. 20 NM). On Friday we will stay at Tolchester Marina (approx. 12 NM). We will have a closing dinner or picnic here. Tolchester Marina has a pool, ice, gas, and beach bar. http://www.tolchestermarina.com/Due to the late date getting started on these plans, we would like to get our count for the marinas as soon as possible. Please let us know if you can join us. We would like to have confirmed reservations at the marinas by March 30. Details of picnics will follow. Cost of slips is attached. We will do catered picnic costs separately. [I will reply with the costs of the marinas if you request this at aa.camacci@comcast.net.]

Thanks, Chip

Thanks, Chip. It looks like we are going to have a small cruise this year. We will use the links that you gave us next year. I do have 2 boats coming from "Trailer Sailors". I just spent about an hour looking at your website, it's great. Your boat looks really nice. I especially enjoyed your detailed description of where you keep everything on your boat. When we cruise our boat on our summer cruise, which is usually for about 10 days, we have my wife, one or 2 of my sons, and myself. We have the same problem that you describe, that is, storing everything that is required to keep the boat relatively self sufficient. I'll look at your website more when I have more time.I do want to mention that if your ever have a chance to sail with us, we would like that. I read that you cruise your boat alone. We sailed our boat by ourselves for about 20 years, then we started sailing with Catalina 22 Fleet 73 from Middle River, MD, then later, we began to sail with Fleet 10 from Annapolis, MD. I really like to sail with the fleet. They are great people, and you automatically have something great in common.Attached is a link to my son's website, (which he hasn't updated for a few years), but it does have plenty of photos from our 2001 and 2002 cruises, that I think you might enjoy. Thanks again for your reply, and sharing your cruise adventures with me, Aldo Aldo
