Two major Hunter owner rendezvous are about to swing into high gear on the Eastern seaboard. On the Chesapeake, Back to the Bay III is coming next weekend, July 12-15. According to organizers, there's still a little bit of room at the marina being held for last-minute registrations. This year's event, headlined by cruising humorist Tom Neale, is expected to draw more than 100 boats and 300 owners from Florida to Pennsylvania and beyond! Sail or drive to Zahniser's Yachting Center in Solomons, MD, to attend. Walk- or sail-ups are OK, or contact Mark Roskin at mroskin@hotmail.com for more info. Following on the heels of the Chesapeake event is the Mystic rendezvous, August 2-5 at Mystic Shipyard in Mystic, CT. Sponsored by Hunter Marine, this event will draw well over 100 boats from up and down the east coast. Hunter has brought their industry clout to bear on door prizes, speakers,and celebrities, to make this a can't-miss event. There's still plenty of time to register online at: http://www.huntermarine.com/whatsnew/form.htm Watch this site for more details later in the month.
