[Rhodes22-list] Upper Chesapeake Rhodies

[Peter Thorn]

Todd, Lloyd, Mary Lou, Fred and other Chesapeake Rhodies,

Three boats plan to meet up in your area at Casa Rio Marina, Mayo, MD (about 10 miles south of Annapolis on the West River) on Wednesday June 29th for a 10 day trip.  Along with Tana and me on R22 Raven,  friends George and Betsy of Asheboro, NC  in a renovated Paceship 23 and Cousin Tom and his friend Katherine in a Mac26x  from Babylon, NY are all signed up for this adventure..  Any boat wishing to join our fleet is more than welcome.

We are considering visiting Annapolis on July 4th for the fireworks  http://www.annapolis.gov/headlines.asp?ID=4285.  Can anyone offer any information about this?   It looks like this might be a good spot to be in a boat that night.

We don't have a float plan yet, so if you can suggest good anchorages, restaurants, marinas (we like value) or, on the other hand, pitfalls to avoid - we would be much obliged.  We have Neale's "Guide to The Upper Chesapeake" and have read Mary Lou's chapter in Sailing Small with much enthusiasm.

If anyone is interested in getting together, please contact me.  We would love to visit with another R22.

Fair winds,

PT

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.............Mark Twain
