The eighth event (7/25-27) of the Chesapeake Bristol Club (CBC) 2015 season was Mini-Cruise #3 to St Michaels including Log Canoe Races. Wind on Saturday was near zero, so sailors had to mostly motor to St. Michaels. There were two Log Canoe races on Saturday (7/25) and one on Sunday – all observed by CBC members.
Saturday’s events were capped off with Happy Hour on Galatea followed by dinner at Ava's highlighted by having "balcony seats" to watch the St. Michaels parade and Ice Cream at Justine's. Members and guests attending were: Rob & Carroll Greve (friends of Clopps), Lida & Will Klunk (friends of Johnsons), Deb & Ken Coons, Bob & Prue Clopp, Doc & Carol Johnson, and Marty & Joyce Suydam.
Sunday’s events were to include a ride on the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum to view the Log Canoe races, however, the Captain showed up late and we watched from land, except for Bob & Prue Clopp who ventured out to get a close look in their dinghy. An upscale lunch was at the Inn at Perry Cabin, followed by shopping, Happy Hour aboard Galatea and dinner at St Michaels Town Dock Restaurant.
Ice Cream at JoJo Cupcakes and Cream topped off the evening before storms rolled in during the late night hours. While the forecast for Monday’s return home was grim, it was a pleasant surprise, with perfect winds, rising tide, and following seas most of the way home.
The ninth event of the Chesapeake Bristol Club (CBC) 2015 season was the Shore Party on August 2 hosted by Carol and Ted Reinhold. The afternoon was beautiful with a wonderful breeze and a bright blue sky. The location on the bank of the Magothy River looking north toward Baltimore was the perfect spot to enjoy an early August picnic.
28 CBC members including Elinor & Tom Adensam, Ruth & Dick Boecker, Prue & Bob Clopp, Scott & Mickey Doran, Tom Finnan, Joel Gross, Logan & Will Hottle, Carol & Doc Johnson, Coleen & Mark Johnson, Shirley Kennard, Margaret & Peter Madden, Carol & Ted Reinhold, Kathleen O’Toole & John Ruthrauff, Joyce & Marty Suydam, Jane & Val Taliaferro, and Tom Trump. As usual, the shared culinary talents of the membership were a great success.
