With all the fun we had during our Winter Rendezvous at Todd’s place it’s time to start thinking, plan itinerary and start booking vacation time off for our next adventures. As our rendezvous become more and more successful with the experiment we did last year it’s time to officially take it to the next level and turn our rendezvous in to official “CSR Northeast Flotilla” where the group will not just meet up at a marina, but we will travel from port to port as a group and our destinations will be mixed between marinas, mooring and/or just anchorage in a beautiful cove.
To clarify how is this different from other rendezvous we had in the past, the new approach simply works for everyone. Don't let the title scare you away thinking that you have to sign up for a week of cruising from the first port all the way to the last port. The beauty of the new approach is that regardless of your schedule, location and ability to travel you can join the flotilla at any port for any length of stay that works for you.
Here’s my proposal for our “CSR Northeast Flotilla 2013”:
Date: August 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] – August 11[SUP]th[/SUP]
Updated 6/13/13: We're all set to have the Feast of the East on Taylor's Island on August 3rd: http://taylorsisland.org/
Itinerary:
1. Shelter Island (raftup).
2. Cruise to Block island (most will be rafter in the anchorage area and others will stay at Champlins).
3. Cruise to Newport (mooring or marina).
4. From Newport we're splitting in to two Groups:
- Group 1 (heading West back home) to Greenport.
- Group 2 (heading East) to Martha's Vinyard, Nantucket, etc...
5. From Greenport to home port (GSB or LIS).
Getting There:
Most likely we'll have majority traveling from two directions GSB and LIS. So, here's a quick maps and basic Float Plans for each.
From/To GSB:
From/To LIS:
Getting There - Alternative Ways: For those who is unable to participate by water keep in mind that there are always other options. As you can see from previous rendezvous, we had folks who drove to a port or took their cars on a ferry and crossed over to places like Block and Newport. The options are there, so if you want to make it and meet the fleet come on over.
Let’s get the ball rolling, Captains!!!:smt038
