Ok guys (and gals), Sorry if this is a repeat. It didn't look like my first email ever hit the server.
The dates for the Annapolis Sailboat show have been released as well as my work/vacation schedule for 2018. You might remember that I had mapped the distances which people were willing to drive and boat. The resulting area which attracted the most people was more or less a zone on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay between Annapolis and Solomons. We could get as many as 29 people total and 13 by boat! The dates which I'm looking at are October 1st through the 8th (this encompasses the sailboat show which is the 4th through the 8th) and October 26th to the 1st. If held during the later dates we can easily hold the rendezvous in Annapolis since dockage and mooring won't be a problem. If held during the earlier dates (during the boat show) we could hold the rendezvous at nearby towns within a 30 minute drive of the boat show. I'm personally leaning towards the later dates since Annapolis is such a great town to visit and has such good boating amenities; It would be nice if everyone had a chance to see it without the craziness of the boat show. If during the boat show is the preference then I was thinking that maybe Herrington Harbor North or somewhere in Deal, MD would be nice. For those who want to attend the boat show Deal is only a 30 minute drive. I'm sure there are marinas elsewhere closer to Annapolis yet away from the crowds that I'm not aware of. I'm eager to hear everyones thoughts and suggestions. Thanks, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD
