The Club’s Memorial Weekend Cruise, May 26 – 28, provided great weather, good boating, and enjoyable food to celebrate the start of the Summer Boating Season at the Chesapeake Yacht Club, Shady Side, Maryland.   Swimming, an outside bar, happy hour appetizers, picnics, cookouts, and dinner in the Club restaurant, provided an outstanding experience for the weekend.  The boating both down to the West River and back to Annapolis provided great conditions to enjoy being on the water.  The Club had its own tent area for the weekend, lawn space for bocce ball, and an enthusiastic “show and tell” where members presented 37 of their favorite Tools and Gadgets, ranging from special function boating tools, unique kitchen utensils, to the latest in cell phone boating apps., that provided a most useful sharing experience.  Next is the Club’s Annual Cruise on the Chesapeake starting June 16-23, part anchoring out and part at favorite destinations on both sides of the Bay.  Starting in White Hall Bay and moving to a Dobbins Island Raft Up will start off the Cruise before crossing to the Eastern Shore.  Come join us.  Check BCYC out at http://www.backcreekyc.org and enjoy the fun.
