Under the leadership of Cruise Director, John Pasley, 24 boats with close to 60 crew on board assembled at Calvert Marina in Solomons for the opening dinner of the traditional 2015 Annapolis and Philadelphia Fleets Spring Cruise. This year offered a full and ambitious two week schedule extending as far south as Hampton, VA with numerous ports of call en route.
Needless to say the opening day weather did not fully cooperate, and most boats arrived in Solomons after a 40+ mile dead beat into 20 knot southerly winds. So the floating docks of Calvert Marina were, for all, a welcome haven of tranquility. In the evening, Annapolis Fleet Captain Julian Bigden welcomed the entire complement of members and guests to the opening cocktail hour and buffet dinner at the Back Creek Bistro. thecorinthians.org
