To our C-Dory brothers and sisters,

The Ranger Tug/Cutwater owners of the Chesapeake Bay are having their 3d Annual Chesapeake Bay Pocket Yacht Rendezvous, and we want to invite any C-Dorys in the Chesapeake Bay area. So please, save the date...the 2014 CBPYR will take place May 30-June 1 at the Spring Cove Marina in Solomons, Maryland. The registration fee to attend will be $50/boat or $25/person if arriving by land. We are currently trying to solidify our weekend events, so as more information becomes available, I will update anyone interested in participating.

Please send me an email at jtgarcia26@gmail.com if you are interested or think you may be interested in attending our rendezvous. Very Happy

We are hoping this fits with our cruising schedule (after the North Carolina Loop cruise). We had so much fun with the C-Brats at Hontoon that we can't wait until the next time we can gather with like-minded folks.

Will there be actual cruising planned during this event? Or just a lot of fun hanging out together and checking out boats? (I am personally dying to see the small Cutwater, although it is a far bigger and heavier boat than we want).

Please put us down as "tentative" and also let us know when you've got a bit of a schedule defined.

Rob and Mary,

I have you down as "tentative". The rendezvous will be more of a "get together" and fellowship with others. We plan on having a couple of guest speakers and the Coast Guard Auxillery to conduct courtesy safety inspections to anyone interested.

Mary and I attended the Pocket Yacht Rendezvous this weekend in Solomons, MD. We had a great time. Overall about 15 boats attended, plus a few boatless couples. In addition to our Venture 23 "Freedom" were 2 other 25' C-Dorys. The balance of boats were Ranger Tugs mostly in the range of 25-27' and then 3 Cutwater. Solomons is a beautiful location and we spent some of our time bike riding around the area. Otherwise we were visiting and/or eating... Our boat was berthed next to a 25' classic Ranger Tug and while only a 2' difference in length the tug dwarfed our boat - almost made it look like a bathtub toy. A 25' C-Dory was berthed next to a 27' Tug and it was similarly dwarfed. The size and design comparisons are fascinating, but you can certainly see why the C-Dory would be easier to tow.

The Rendezvous ended around noon so we then took advantage of the beautiful day and cruised up to St. Michaels, MD, where we'll take a day to explore the town and surroundings. Our East Coast trip has been a real eye opener regarding the vast cruising grounds that exist out here. I've spent 50+ years boating in the SF and Northern California area. Granted it is beautiful but it doesn't hold a candle to the vast boating opportunities to be found on the East Coast. I should have retired and trailered the boat East years ago...
