Cruising the Chesapeake with the CBGBOA
Click Here to see additional details of the schedule, to see cruise attendees, and/or to enter your boat name and crew for a particular cruise.
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.

May 25-27 | Chester River, Chestertown | While this will not be a sponsored cruise this year, this event is lots of fun. On Saturday see the British test their swimming skills as they once again follow their cases of tea overboard at the hands of the pesky colonists. Then on Sunday stay to see the homemade rafts race; just how long can cardboard float? | no individual sponsor |
June 22-24 | Little Choptank | CBGBOA/MTOA have teamed up once again to have a joint rendezvous. The event will take place at Slaughter Creek Marina on the Little Choptank River. Tentative plans include visiting Blackwater Refuge, Poplar Island, and/or lighthouses. The weekend would be a perfect extension for those cruising the Potomac with Dr. Nick. | Carolyn Bowden & Carol Williamson |
June 28- July 1 | Cruise up the Potomac | The Nicholson's will lead a cruise up the Potpmac to arrive in time for the Fireworks on the 4th. Meet in solomons and proceed in a mix of anchorages and marinas up the Potomac. Potential stops are Smith Creek/St. Mary's River, Port Kinsale Marina, Colonial Beach, Port tobacco River, and National Harbor. Marina space in Washington will be limited so reserve early. | Sharon & Sam Nicholson |
