Long Cruise
July 27 - August 3
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. On Friday, we travel ~ 40 nm to Safe Harbor Zahnisers in Solomons for our last night with dinner at the on-site Italian restaurant.
The marinas are holding slips but have asked that members book ASAP. Slips cannot be guaranteed if you wait until the last minute.
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 reservations at Fishing Bay Marina, click here. For all other marinas, reservations should be made on Dockwa. In all cases, mention that you are cruising with the Herring Bay Yacht Club.
Note: If you cannot get a slip at Fishing Bay Marina, you can anchor out and dinghy in to use their facilities (per the owner).
