The Corinthians Kick Off 2015 Sailing Season

The Corinthians emerged from their winter caves on May 2 into glorious spring sunshine. Clements Creek, on the south shore of the Severn River, was the chosen rendezvous for the first on-the-water event of the 2015 sailing season. A dozen boats with about 40 members and guests on board, including the Annapolis and Philadelphia Fleet Captains, rafted up for the Saturday afternoon to share an array of food and drinks and discuss plans for the upcoming season.

John Pasley provided details of the upcoming two week Chesapeake Bay Cruise scheduled for early June which will begin in The Solomons and extend south to Hampton VA. (Members can register online.
