Any CSR members going to the Fell’s Point Festival this weekend? We are going with a group of 10 to 12 boats, staying at the Inner Harbor East Marina.
 
I was hoping to make the trip with 2 other boats. We were there the last two years and it is a blast. But IH East is booked and others want at least 2 nights.

Guess we'll do something else instead.
 
We'll be there with 5 other boats, staying at Anchorage. We always go since it falls around my Birthday. Feel free to drop off presents at Anchorage with Attn: Aaron on them.:thumbsup:

OK, looking for ideas..... How about a "wingless duck"??
 
Woot! packed and headed to the marina! Can't wait for the 20K winds to blow and the 2-3 ft waves coming into the Patapsco!!!! Of course the rest of the weekend looks great!!

Can't wait!!! See you all down there...
 
Man, wish I could go, but gotta babysit dad this weekend.
Stop in Coopers for me, have fun.
 
We may dinghy over Saturday night or sometime Sunday from BIH. Anyone docking close enough for me to tie up to?

Tom - didn't realize you do the Lancaster run as well.
 
Bill,
Sorry we missed you guys up there. We went to Annapolis and stayed at the Public City Docks from Thursday till today, Sunday. Had a great time as it was our first outing this year after having two hip replacements. The place was jumping because of the Navy/Air force game and they were beginning to stage for the boat shows.
Hooked up with some old friends at the Fleet Reserve Club. A great place to sit on the waterfront at Ego Alley and watch the boats go by and good food and drink at a reasonable price. Maybe next season we can hook up and go there with a group. Take care you guys. It's great to be back on the water and well again.

Wow. What a great event. We were never there before and were blown away by the event. Thanks go to Bill for inviting us along what a great weekend.

Like I always say 'figures lie and liars figure'.. From www.buoybay.org the mean wave height was 1.6ft with a max of 2 ft coming at it every 2.5s... I swear they were on the +side of 2.5, but the ride over Fri afternoon deserved every bit of the small craft warnings and 2-3ft NOAA predictions. It was a slow 12K cruise around North Point. We were ROCKIN. It was much better on the return trip on Sunday, smooth and calm. Only hit some stiff chop in the river coming home when we took the 15K wind on the nose. Bill will have to comment on his trip back later Sunday, hopefully it was just as nice.

I am sure the boat has a few more stress points on her from that run over Fri for sure! The breaker panel door sheared off in the pounding!! No points loss for docking coming in as we did not need the bow thruster!! But leaving on Sunday we lost style points when we came out into the fairway and I proceeded to drift over onto the other boats, thankfully a fellow Sea Ray owner was quick to lend a hand and fend us off his pulpit and anchor without incident!!! Thanks!!!

Yep Stan we make the run from Lancaster!!! More PA folks on the bay, happily our MD slip mates have adopted us! If you stopped over I am sorry we missed you, we had two empty slips right behind us on F pier. We were down sans children so we were out and about a lot.
 
It was a great time as usual. We left early Friday morning to beat the wind and still had a bumpy ride down. Some of our friends came down around 2:30 in a 330 Sundancer and got absolutely pounded and soaked...Sunday was still a little bumpy but not unbearable.

Sorry Bill - I got your PM after I had left for the weekend but will keep your number in case we're in the same area again.
