Wow! Two great days for sailing
for our “rebound” Shakedown Cruise to LaTrappe Creek.
Multiple boats arrived on
Friday and Saturday.
The cruises that are on the calendar
cannot always be followed as planned.
Some boats will arrive early.
Weather may alter plans. Some boats may continue to other destinations.
The idea is that the fleet will
be at a given destination on certain dates.
So, stay flexible, Stuff happens, plans change.
It is always more fun if we
can be together.
As always, skippers make
their own decisions.
Use channel 72. Call “Choptank
Cruisers” to hail other vessels.

Dear
Choptank ESSA Competitors,
On Wednesday evenings leading up to the 17th, we are encouraging informal pursuit style racing by our members. This past Wednesday Gabrielle, Whistle Jacket and Jitterbug competed on Course 27. George Breig published PHRF TOD start times (on the ESSA Blog site) which can be used by the competitors for a pursuit style race with no committee boat.
The
start, our season will consist of a three race series of non-spin only. The
fleet leadership chose this format in order to take a soft approach to
launching the season. There are many boats who may be in the water, but are
reluctant to sail spinnaker due to crew size limitations. Our non-spin boats who
have limited crew. Either way, this gives us a simplified and laid back
approach to getting back into the groove. If it makes sense to do so, we will
revert to normal six race series following with both fleets.
As advertised in my last email to you all, we have the pleasure of Ron Freund committing to a few races as committee boat at least until we are able to establish a baseline of racers for our lottery committee boat format this year.
Additionally,
to the TAYC crew, please feel free to bring your boats to CYC ahead of the
Wednesday races. We can and will accommodate a temp slip for you until you are
able to get your boats back down the river safely. No pressure. No problem.
Just give me a heads up please. You guys are always welcome to move about the
cabin here.
All the best, and see you guys soon.
Trevor
