    05/20 - 05/22 - Havre de Grace, MD

    Weather is poor today (Windy, thunderstorms and rain). Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny but hot (>90) Of course, fuel is far more expensive now then when I posted this event, so I understand those who are limiting travel! If you are planning on being in HdG this weekend, please PM me so we...

    Reminder to those coming to HdG this upcoming weekend -- the long-range forecast looks promising! Water levels are decent and most of the spring runoff is washed away. If you plan on attending please respond here so we can plan for meetup location and if needed make reservations. Thanks

    Ask Tyboo for an event signup and it will be done. I don't think ordinary users can do the event signup themselves. BTW, did we meet at Lankford at the 2005 CBGT? That was my one and only event on in the East! No, that was not me, as we are only year-old C-Dory folk. :-) Thank you! I'll...

    Since this is the first gathering for C-Dorys in the upper bay, we are being low-key. Show up, meet up, and go boating on the beautiful upper Chesapeake Bay! We'll gauge interest, get introduced, and make bigger plans for next time. So here are the details: C-Dory gathering at Havre de Grace...

    Wind and towing safety

    I'm also a relatively new C-Dory owner (22' with tandem trailer purchased just over a year ago). We had a small 15' fishing boat and trailer that introduced us to motorboating after a lifetime with paddle and oar-powered boats. Everything from towing to mooring to ramp etiquette was new. This...

    2022 Chesapeake Bay Gathering (?)

    Hello everyone! My apologies for the bouts of silence. Recent world events have made my workload -- unusually demanding. Since this is our first event, we will keep the planning and logistics to a minimum. Instead, we'll set some dates and locations and recommend folks make arrangements. There...

On Saturday, May 21, the Mount Harmon Plantation hosts the annual Revolutionary War Encampment. Mount Harmon is an easy hour's cruise from...

    2022 Chesapeake Bay Gathering (?)

    Right now the weekend of May 21-22 looks to be the best for availability, weather, and general nice time of year to be out on the Bay! I will request the admins provide an event listing, but if you're planning on attending, pencil in these dates!

    2022 Chesapeake Bay Gathering (?)

    In that case I’ll be using the cover of the marina. 😊 The northern reaches of the bay are very shallow so waves can build quickly and also come from 4 directions at once (makes no sense and I didn’t believe it until it happened a few times). Fortunately the distances are short and if weather...

    Not sure where you're measuring from -- I used HdG town marina as starting point (and have done some of these trips). Keep in mind you don't need to use only channels here -- we're in C-Dories, after all!!

    2022 Chesapeake Bay Gathering (?)

    Update: Started contacting marinas to see who can provide rig parking, launch, and transient slips (up to 15) that are also near suitable anchorages. Right now I’m leaning towards HdG as the most accessible option with many options for day trips and enough town amenities to make bad weather...
