Catalina Fleet 3 has had a busy fall of sailing with cruises to Shaw Bay in September for the Eastport Oyster Boys annual on the water concert, to the Magothy River and to Whitehall Bay. Our fall cruise was cut short due to a nor’easter and Hurricane Joaquin. It was the only bad week of fall! We’ll just have to try again next year.
The weather was perfect for the Annapolis Sailboat Show and Bill and I enjoyed working the Catalina Owner’s booth on Saturday and Sunday. Lots of Catalina owners stopped by to talk about their boats and where they sail. Sailors are a diverse group, but always friendly and we enjoyed every minute of talking about boats and sailing. Perhaps due to the bad weather the previous week, one of our purchases was a spare set of dock lines…
Fleet 3 will finish up the 2015 season with a fall meeting on November 7 at Paul’s Homewood Café in Annapolis. A few of our members will miss the meeting due to a sailing trip to the BVI’s! Our fall meeting will be in April 2016. Let’s hope for a milder winter than last year!
