LROS CRUISE SEPT 27 – OCT 4

Sat Sept 27 – Sail to Rock Hall (20km).  Grab a slip at North Point Marina as we will be having the final cookout of the year, on a weeklong cruise.  Enjoy spending time with your friends, as we feast on burgers and dogs prepared by me. All the meat, buns and condiments will be supplied by the club, we ask each boat to bring one side to complete the dinner.  As usual bring your preferred drink.

Sun Sept 28 – Sail south from RH to Chesapeake Yacht Club(23KM) on South Creek, just off the West River.  Grab a slip at the club taking advantage of a special rate provided to all CBCYA members. CYC will offer us a dinner special, with 2-main course options, and a free glass of wine.  Anchoring on South Creek is an option, still exploring dingy dock availability.

Mon Sept 29 – From CYC cross the bay and enter the Choptank River heading to Oxford on the Tred Avon River(23KM).  Grab a slip at Safe Harbor South. Eat on board. A list of open restaurants will be supplied if you want to hook up with members that want to eat out.

Tues Sept 30 – Rest day in Oxford. Sleep in, go for a walk, take a bike ride, or just plain do nothing as you mentally prepare for the big race day coming up tomorrow.  Dinner on your own.  All boats racing on Wed must attend the Pre-Race Captains Meeting.  All captains must research their PHRF rating and get it to me in advance so we can agree on fair numbers for each boat.  See attached list to get you started.  PHRF INFO HERE!

Wed Oct 1 – IT’S RACE DAY! There is a really nice trophy on the line!!
