[C320-list] 2014 Rendezvous Announcement - Action required - Respond interested or not

Au contraire, monsieur. Our last stops have been on Little Choptank (Slaughter Creek being a favorite;) or even Dun Cove. For one or a few boats, Flag Harbor is also a usable marina with pool (great hurricane hole) and quite close to Solomons allowing an early arrival. John, the manager at Flag H is very accommodative. There has even been a loaner car available for shopping trips. Slaughter Cr. will add about 10nm to the trip.
So, while options are few, there are options. See the ActiveCaptain markers for more info.

Warren - As you know, the last stop before Solomons is Herrington Harbour South.  Linda and I will be leaving from there (makes no sense for us to head north to turn around and head south).  If anyone coming down from the north uses HHS as a layover, let us know! - Allan

Tony and all, Bruce Stumpp (Past Commodore) and I have discussed with Jerry Taylor the possibility of a group sail/race from the mid/North Bay area to Solomons. For us above the Patapsco R., it is a two-day passage or one overnight. I'm, personally not crazy about doing an overnight, perhaps others are. Maybe we could have two flotillas: one 2-3 day cruise, one overnight. I have a roster of 320 from Allan Field and a list of other 320 from an previous C320 raft-up idea. I'll develop a new list from that and put it together.

If anyone is interested in such a group passage to Solomons, let me know. I'll make sure your name and boat are on the list. Please send an e-mail directly, off-list (wupdike at hotmail.com.) Click on the "From:" address on an open message from the list wupdike at hotmail.com.

Solomon Is. is a Chesapeake Bay maritime community. The marina and Holiday Inn are the venue for the Regatta. You can walk the island to the end and back, no problem. The racing/cruising events are in prime Chesapeake waters: brown pelicans, eagles, great blue herons, ospray, egrets, crabs, stripped bass, maybe even spot a porpoise. There is Calvert Marine Museum that is great fun for kids and adults. Restaurants and night spots, too. More than enough to fill a long weekend. 

Our last regatta was 2008, in Annapolis, MD. It's time for another get together. Let's do it!

Jerry

I plan on attending and sailing down from Annapolis.

Are any of the Northern Chesapeake owners looking at sailing down together if so I would be interested in joining up. 

Thanks
