EGGNOG CRUISE
2025-01-01 10:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | MD
Eggnog Cruise. Start the New Year right!
Start the new year off right by going out for a sail. Weather permitting, we will go out for an hour or two sail and drink a little eggnog to toast in the new sailing season. Then, we will meet somewhere to warm up and have lunch. If your boat is in the water, and you would like to go out, sign up. If you would like to be crew, you can contact the Captains of those going out and sign up as crew.
The decision to go out will be up to the Captains of the boats who sign up

Hardy Cruise
2024-10-26 08:00 - 2024-10-27 17:00 | MD
Hardy Cruise
har·dy
/ˈhärdē/
adjective

robust; capable of enduring difficult conditions.

Similar: strong, sturdy, tough, rugged. Do people call you Captain Ahab?
It is late in the season and it might be cooler but we know some of you hardy sailors will endure. Let’s see who will dare to sign up and then we can put our hardy heads together and decide where the wind will take us. Who knows? It could be sunny and warm but we will come back with tales of high winds and higher waves that we lived to tell about. Sign up if you dare.

SAT 9/28 TO WORTON – From Middle River, or your home port, head out to Worton at 9 AM, 11NM.
Destination Worton Creek Marina. A leisurely sail will get you there in time for a nap before the fun
begins. Cocktails on the hill at 5PM. Dinner will be after cocktails with us supplying burgers, dogs, and
more. You bring a side, and as always, your choice of drink. After dinner we will have a round of “Team
Sailing Trivia” with the chance to win BIG MONEY! Remember, evenings on the hill in late September
can be cold, so dress accordingly.

cruise, 29 NM. In Annapolis, grab a mooring ball, pick a marina or an anchorage. Dinner on your own.
The water taxis will be running, so access to downtown for a late-night dessert, coffee, or maybe even
a cocktail or two since Monday will not require an early start.
MON 9/30 IN ANNAPOLIS–Have breakfast on your boat or hook up with friends for a visit to the many
eateries in Annapolis. At 1PM we will tour the Naval Academy’s Museum in Preble Hall. It is incredible!
This will leave time to explore the city before dinner. Dinner will be as a group at a restaurant to be
determined.
TUES 10/1 TO ST MICHAELS – Head out at 9AM for SM’s, 27 NM. Depending on the weather
conditions, this day could be an option for the annual LROS MATCH RACE! If conditions are good, we

then race to a point at the NE Tip of the Eastern Bay. After completion, head up to St. Michaels, take a
slip, or anchor. Dinner on your own.
WED 10/02 ON TO WYE ISLAND OR SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING ST MICHAELS
(OPTION 1) Head on to the Wye, take an anchor, 4.5 NM. We will explore the island and its trail
system. Many anchorages can handle several boats, to be determined later depending on weather
conditions. There is a section on the SW Tip of the island that contains the Tunnel of Trees, very cool!
After a thorough exploration we will return to the boats for cocktails and then dinner on your own.
(OPTION 2) – If exploring the island is not for you, stay in St Michaels, after a late breakfast you can
explore The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s New Welcome Center, it is worth a look. Or if you
are feeling lazy, just blow off the afternoon and explore the city. Leave in time to find and anchorage on
the Wye, as you rejoin the fleet for cocktails, 4.5 NM. Dinner on your own.
THUR 10/03 TO RHODE RIVER – Head to the Rhode River, 22NM. We will anchor in Sheep’s Head
Bay, near the Big Island. Depending on the weather conditions, this day could be an option for the
annual LROS MATCH RACE! If conditions are good, we will pick a spot at the upper end of the
Eastern Bay to start, sail down the Eastern Bay, around Bloody Point, and finish at the mouth of the
Rhode. Last night for dinner on your own.

June Weeklong
2024-06-28 08:00 - 2024-07-06 17:00 | MD
June Weeklong
I hope you join us for the trip to the great North. We are trying something, rarely done with NC3. We are heading north. Don’t worry, we have studied and verified that the world is round and that you will not fall off the edge of the planet, if you sail beyond the Northern boundaries of the Chesapeake Bay. Not only that you can actually swim off your boat without being stung by sea nettles by heading north.
Once in Delaware City we will take a day and head over to Fort Delaware. Situated on Pea Patch Island in the middle of the Delaware River, Fort Delaware was initially constructed in the mid-1800s to protect Wilmington and Philadelphia from enemy attack. Fort Delaware served that role through WWI. The fort was among the most state-of-the-art in the nation when it was completed and housed prisoners of war during the Civil War due to its relative isolation. Within the walls of Fort Delaware, visitors can also see Battery Torbert. Along the Prison Camp Trail lies the entrance to the mine casemate that controlled the mines that were deployed in the river in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Pea Patch Heronry is one of the largest mixed species nest colony for herons, egrets, and ibis in the eastern United States. Other nesters that can be found on the island include osprey and bald eagles. Paranormal tours are offered in the fall and living history interpretation is offered year-round.
Sign up early as there may be a limit on how many boats we can take on this trip.
Friday 28th – Bohemian Veazy cove anchor out.
Saturday 29th — Veazy cove to Delaware City Marina
Sunday 30th — Delaware City (Delaware down day, tour Fort Delaware )
Monday 1st — Delaware City to Chesapeake Inn.
Tuesday 2nd — Chesapeake Inn to Sailing Associates
Wednesday 3rd — Sailing Associates down day
Thursday 4th — Sailing Associates to Worton creek
Friday 5th — Worton Creek to Home
Saturday 6th — Fireworks at home middle river

Memorial Day Cruise
2024-05-25 08:00 - 2024-05-27 17:00 | Fairlee Creek
Memorial Day – (Dingy cruise) Fairlee Creek
May 25th we will throw lines and head across the bay to Fairlee Creek just 10.5 miles across the bay. Once we arrive at Fairlee we can grab a slip at Great Oaks Landing or drop your hook in the protected waters of Fairlee creek. Great Oaks landing is a beautiful Marina that has a sandy beach and fire rings. Saturday we will enjoy the marina, have lunch, maybe a swim in the pool. Dinner is on your own, you can have dinner in the restaurant or on your boat. I hope we can have Happy hour on the beach down from Jellyfish Joels and watch a beautiful sunset.
Sunday get your dingy read as we will head east to explore the back of Fairlee creek. Many of us have not been very far past the entrance to Great Oaks landing Marina. Did you know the creek goes back another 2.5 miles? We can lash up the dinghies and head out to see the great unknown. Bring hats and sunscreen as we are roughing it with as we head back to the back of the creek. I am sure it will be beautiful. Once we return we can have lunch and take naps. Sunday evening we will head over to our favorite place Worton creek only 4.5 miles away.
At Worton you can take a slip or drop the hook. The idea is to sail in at Sunset. Dinner is on your own again. After dark, find a friend and enjoy a night cap before heading in for a good night’s sleep. Monday there is always the early birds that want to get home. Those that want to stay a little longer after breakfast since we have the dinghy ready we can go for a dingy tour of Wortons back creeks. The last time I saw lots of beavers swimming in the creek and a ton of bald eagles. We will return in time for a bite of brunch and head back across the bay to our home slips. Snug in our slips by 3 pm.
Join us for a great trip just across the Bay for the 3 day weekend.

Solomons to North
2024-05-13 08:00 - 2024-05-17 17:00 | MD
Early May (Solomons North) WTWB–This cruise will start at Solomons the week of May 13. Below is proposed schedule.
We are tentatively planning on departing early the week of May 13. Actual day is still not final but thinking Tuesday. We have no firm date on Saranac availability. This will be a WTWB cruise.
Arrive no later than Sunday 5/12 to allow 2 nights in Solomons (Zanheisers or marina of choice and meet up for gatherings). There are many activities in Solomons to fill the day and will allow one day of rest before heading back up the Bay.
5/14 Tuesday – cross the bay. depart for Hudson Creek on the Little Choptank. 29 miles. Anchor.
5/15 Wednesday – leave Hudson Creek for the West River (possibly Chesapeake Yacht club south of Annapolis in Shady Side). 35 miles. Cross the bay.
5/16 Thursday – leave West River for Rock Hall 28 miles or Tolchester marina/beach 33 miles. Cross the Bay.
5/17 Friday – leave either Rock Hall (19 miles) or Tolchester for Middle River (10 miles). Cross the Bay.
Hoping by crossing the bay so much it may help w catching the southerly winds. Poor weather conditions may change the route if needed.
