Boats participating were: Bob Ciferri, and crew Dante Pietrinferni; Neil Hoffman and crew Judith Lraines and Heidi Moser; Marty and Nancy Katzen; Tony and Mary Stajkowski; Tom Stoner and crew Rick Crump; Louis Barr and crew Armando Antonini. Louis sailed over from Middle River and Neil came down from Havre de Grace. The other four boats launched at Elk Neck State Park and sailed south against a good wind. After almost six hours of sailing the 16 mile trip had to be completed underpower. Aftrer a quick swim or shower we convened at the Harbor House restaurant for a delicious meal. An electrical storm knocked out the power just as we were presented the check. The dilemma was resolved by the old fashioned way of paying cash using a battery powered calculator and flashlights. We retred for a good night’s sleep enhanced by the patter of a light rain and thunder in the distance.

On Sunday Mother Nature gave us another windy day but clocked the wind around from the North! This resulted in having to again work against the wind but this time against the tide as well. We had to motor a good part of the return trip and found that motoring on the tacks to windward and sailing the tacks that were reaching was an effective tactic. All in all it was a fun vagabond with lots of good sailing. Ask Mary about her unexpected dunking! Tom Stoner

We will be meeting at the Windmill Restaurant at 8:00am.  Eat before you leave or eat in the car.  We will be putting in at Long Cove State Ramp stopping on the way at Vonnie’s on Rt. 213 (between Galena and Kennedyville) to pick up the permits.  The ramp has space for storing the cars and trailers overnight.  We plan to spend Saturday sailing in the Chester River observing the annual Regatta of the Corsica River Yacht club. We will be participating in their chicken dinner/band/beer truck/ festivities.  We will spend the night moored in the Chester.  Bring food and drink to cover lunch on Saturday and Sunday and breakfast Sunday morning.  Contact Tom S. or Mike D. to be included and for dinner reservations.  Need a crew or a ride- call ASAP.
