MID JULY CRUISE – 7/11 – 7/17
Mid Summer Cruise- 7-day- Where the Wind Blows
2 itineraries, dependent on wind
We all know that July weather can be brutal and unpredictable at times on the Bay. It is for this reason that I have prepared two options to mitigate any adverse winds/weather. Because some like marinas, and other prefer anchorages, this week mostly has options at either.
True South with cooperative winds
Day 1 Sat. July 11, sail across the bay to Tolchester marina for lunch and music at Shanty Bar. Arrive before 1130 to ensure one of their free large floating docks. Southland is a modern country band. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/L24OVmYVbIA
Leave for slip North Point Marina in Rockhall, dinner aboard, cocktails in Pavilion
Day 2 Sun July 12. Depart Rock hall for West River. 24 nm. take a slip at CYC or anchor out. dinner aboard.
Day 3 Mon July 13 While in West River, 11:30 brunch at Stan and Joe’s, a casual, dog friendly eatery having fresh crabs. They have 10+ large deep slips and easily accessible. Depart West river 1 pm for a long cruise (40 km) down to Solomons. Sunset is 2033 hours So expect to arrive before dark. Settle in one of Mill Creek’s many anchorages for a quiet eve. Bring fans!
Day 4 July 14, swing over to Spring Cove Marina or anchor in Back Creek hopeful for an early arrival to be able to enjoy a walk or bike into town. Town dinghy dock available also. Pot Luck Dinner in the Spring Cove Pavillion- make your fav dish.
Day 5 July 15. Decision to stay an extra day will be made by members as Solomons has lots to offer. Or take a short trip up the Patuxent and St Leonard’s creek for meal at Vera’s Marina Restaurant.
