How exciting! The 2007 DIYC cruising program begins with a "cruise" to Hamburg Cove for Memorial Day Weekend.

There are town moorings ($20, I think) and anchoring. Sunday night we are planning a carry-in supper on "Til… What to Bring? If you last name begins with:

A-I - dessert (or salad)

J-O – hors d’oeuvres (Marcus hopefully will being chopped liver!)

P-Z – main course

And, also BYOB! We will be supplying paper goods and ice.

It the past it has always been a fun weekend and the nice thing is that you don’t have to be a cruiser to join in. Nine years ago we tried for the first time to include non-cruisers to join us at Hamburg, since it is on the Connecticut shore. It has worked out really well (just ask Kim and Mike Dowie, who are now parents of three beautiful boys) and we plan to do the same thing this year. So, if you would like to join us on Sunday evening, for the carry in dinner, we will have a pick up at the dinghy dock at Hamburg around 4:00 p.m. Please give us a call at home (860) 526-4249 or on our cells at (860)227-5070 or (860) 391-4252 so we can come and get you by dinghy. (And don’t forget your food contribution and byob).

 Sunday morning, if there is enough interest and weather permitting, we are planning our Annual "gunk hole" tour by caravan of dinghies over to Seldon Creek ( about 1-1/2 miles) or maybe up to the Town of Hamburg and around there (less ambitious). So make sure your dinghy has enough gas and is in good condition. Saturday evening will be a cocktail party (not dinner). We will let you know on Saturday whose boat it will be on. So bring something to share and byob for that. Should be a fun 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. Also if we know you are coming by boat we will try (if possible) to save some extra town moorings (might be $20 per night).
