COLUMBUS DAY CRUISE

OCTOBER 10 – 12,  Hamburg Cove

Cruise Report by Ruth & Pete Connal

 .

This year’s like last year’s DIYC Fall Cruise to Hamburg Cove is somewhat unique in that the crews of Til & Just Desserts will be in Italia with the guys participating in the Barcolana Race in Trieste. However we will be at Hamburg, how about you?

Hamburg Cove is just above Essex on the Ct River. Plenty of water with rental moorings available ($20/boat w rafting permitted). A dingy ride to the inner cove or up to Selden Creek is recommended. Hamburg Yacht Club has always allowed us to use their dingy dock & parking lot, for those that come by car.

We will host a cocktail party & pot luck supper on Sunday night starting at 5PM. For those coming by car call me c203-907-7175 and we will come get you. The CT River can be spectacular this time of year & Hamburg Cove is always beautiful.

Tides & Currants: Sat 10/10 fairly slack around 10am between Westbrook & Saybrook with current boost up river about 11:30. Monday 10/12 current down river at 9am; mostly slack water between Saybrook & Westbrook around noon.

Please let me know if you will join us.
