The seventh event of the Chesapeake Bristol Club (CBC) 2015 season was the Fireworks and Summer Cruise of the North East Chesapeake Bay starting at Lankford Marina on July 2nd and ending at Gibson Island on July 11 and 12. The sail plan was Home-Lankford Bay-St. Michaels-Solomons Island-Oxford-West River-Gibson Island-Home.
The forecast of weather (heat and storms) was not promising and thus the “fleet” was thin until good weather and the sail plan converged on the West River and Gibson Island.
The highlight of the trip was the joint shore party and dinner with West River Sailing Club at the Gibson Island clubhouse on July 11. Total membership participation was over 60 with 23 CBC members in attendance. The scheduling of this event was special since this was to be last outside group opportunity to use the old, elegant clubhouse as it is planned to be destroyed in July.
Note, interested prospective members and guests are welcome to join for any or all of the events, but please notify the Commodore (Marty Suydam, [email protected]) if you would like to participate.
As with all our events, you don’t have to have a Bristol nor be a member to attend, non-members are welcome. Go to the club website for more information about our club and upcoming activities: cbclub.info
