Cruising the Chesapeake with the CBGBOA
Weekend cruises to some of the beautiful creeks and anchorages along the eastern shore have made for some of the most enjoyable times for CBGBOA members and friends. The peace and tranquility of a quiet anchorage can't be beaten - though it's often matched by the equally enjoyable times spent sharing the anchorage with other friends.
2008 was a great season, but it's now history and fond memories. Below you will find the tentative list of dates and anchorages for next year's 2009 cruises that you all can look at and consider. Tentative is the important word here, as this “living,” cruising plan will be periodically refined and updated. The date for the next upcoming cruise will be frozen at least two weeks prior to the event.
