Columbus Day Cruise - 2006

 
 

 

Notice of DIYC Columbus Day Cruise to Hamburg Cove (aka Memorial Day Redux II*)

 

The DIYC 2006 Cruising season will come to a close with a three-day, action-packed cruise to Idyllic Hamburg cove for the Columbus Day Weekend, October 79.

 

 

 Saturday, October 7

 

Cruise-in to Hamburg Cove anchor in outer cove (town moorings may be available).  Note that the Hamburg Cove YC is having a Rendezvous in the outer cove on Sunday, so an earlier arrival is advised.

 

Also, if the earlier arriving speedsters can scope out and possibly secure some extra moorings/provide raft-ups, Im sure us slower, environmentally-conscious blow-boaters will be more than happy to split the $10 mooring fee (you know, to help with your fuel bill).  Well be in contact on CH 72 while enroute to coordinate mooring/anchoring.

 

Cocktail party aboard Karinga 1800 hrs           

Please bring something to share and bev. of choice

 

Sunday, October 8

 

Seldon Cove Gunk-hole Cruise by Dink 0930 hrs

If weather and interests permit, well try a bi-annual dinghy cruise of nearby Seldon Creek.  Its about 1 ½ miles away, so make sure your dink is running well, and gassed up appropriately. 

Carry-in Potluck Dinner 1730 hrs

 

Well be using the modified Weinsteinian plan for potluck duties.  If you last name begins with:

A-I Hors doevres and drinks
J-O Main Course and drinks
P-Z Dessert or Salad and drinks
 

By the way were looking for a host for the potluck (just so everyone's got a bit more room).  Please let Mary or me know if you would be so gracious.  Well provide the paper/plastic goods and ice, tidy up afterwards, and we'll try to enforce any No Red Wine On the Gelcoat rules if need be.

 

If any land-lubbers want to join us hearty seafarers for the potluck, let us know by Sunday AM, and well send a dinghy to fetch you just make sure youve got some tasty goods, or you may find yourself stranded in a longboat.  {Mennos cell: 860-304-5680, Marys cell:  860-304-5681}.  Plan on being picked up at the Hamburg Dinghy dock at 4:30.

Events TBD (any requests?)

 

Should be another fun Duckie Weekend.  If you have any questions, or know now that you will meet us by land and need a pick up, please give us a call.
