Not to be missed. We are heading to 2 of the top 3 small towns to visit on the Chesapeake this year. We will get this party started on Saturday after a ~30nm cruise to Spring Cove Marina in Solomons with a potluck dinner party under the tent. Enjoy the pool and tiki bar before dinner on the first night of this cruise. On Sunday, we travel ~ 30 nm to Point Lookout Marina in Point Lookout, MD. Head to the pool to relax before dinner at the on-site restaurant. On Monday, we travel ~45 nm to Deltaville to enjoy the town and Fishing Bay Marina for 2 days. Fishing Bay Marina is within walking distance of town. On Wednesday, we travel ~35 nm to Somers Cove Marina in Crisfield for another 2 days. In Crisfield you can take a ferry to either Smith Island (Cake!) or Tangiers.

One more thing…please sign-up with us so we can keep you informed of all details of the cruise. In addition, let us know during sign-up if you are extending your trip so that we can facilitate planning joint activities by those who arrive earlier and/or depart later.
For all marinas, reservations should be made on Dockwa. In all cases, mention that you are cruising with the Herring Bay Yacht Club.
