Josh,
When you have your travel schedule in mind, ;et me know what it is. I can arrange my trip so I can meet you in Solomons and we can buddy boat to Annapolis. That way I can help as needed with last minute details, setup, etc. Rick Brass From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley via CnC-List Sent: Monday, February 19, 2018 8:58 PM To: C&C List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Josh Muckley <muckl...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous UPDATE Oct 26, 27, 28 Ok, dates for the 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous are all set. The weekend of October 26,27,28. Carmel and I will be available for multiple days on either side of the weekend and will be doing some Bay sailing in local areas - generally just hanging out if anyone wants to arrive early or stay late. We have 20 responses who are attending and 10 coming by boat. There is roughly a 50/50 mix of those staying on moorings vs slips. I can say that having been to Edd Schillay's NE Rendezvous it is great to tour everyone else's boats so I would encourage all the boaters to plan at least one day to get a slip and then stay on a mooring for any other nights if desired. The Annapolis Harbor Master needs all registrations in by March 31 in order to coordinate getting all the boats together. You can negotiate your arrival and departure dates, power and water requirements, or mooring ball arrangements directly with the Harbor Master - Beth. Let her know that you are attending the 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous. They have a liberal and comprehensive cancelation policy posted on the registration form so register now even if there is a chance that you may cancel. https://www.annapolis.gov/165/Harbormaster https://www.annapolis.gov/1338/Dock-Reservation-Request As for our land based visitors the waterfront Marriott has an absolutely perfect location, however when I priced rooms they were exorbitant. Y'all might have different luck when/if you call. https://g.co/kgs/V14Gvi Instead of the Marriott, an alternative might be the Historic Inns of Annapolis. https://g.co/kgs/eL7534 Both hotels are centrally located and well within walking distance to the docking location. I have been approached regarding a possible sailing race which might include a half-hull model of the winner's boat as a prize! I need volunteers to help arrange any of these add-ons. I can act as a central coordinator but I can't manage it all. Some other ideas might be a Naval Academy tour, group dinner, escape room dinner, shopping trip, swag bags, demonstrations, day sail to another port, etc. If you come up with an idea and want to organize it then go ahead. Uber and Lift are available and Carmel and I will probably arrange for one of our cars to be available for anyone who needs.

You might remember that I had mapped the distances which people were willing to drive and boat. The resulting area which attracted the most people was more or less a zone on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay between Annapolis and Solomons. The dates which I'm looking at are October 1st through the 8th (this encompasses the sailboat show which is the 4th through the 8th) and October 26th to the 1st. If held during the later dates we can easily hold the rendezvous in Annapolis since dockage and mooring won't be a problem. If held during the earlier dates (during the boat show) we could hold the rendezvous at nearby towns within a 30 minute drive of the boat show. I'm personally leaning towards the later dates since Annapolis is such a great town to visit and has such good boating amenities; It would be nice if everyone had a chance to see it without the craziness of the boat show. If during the boat show is the preference then I was thinking that maybe Herrington Harbor North or somewhere in Deal, MD would be nice. For those who want to attend the boat show Deal is only a 30 minute drive. I'm sure there are marinas elsewhere closer to Annapolis yet away from the crowds that I'm not aware of. I'm happy to hear everyones thoughts and suggestions.

Drive radius map - As long as we keep it in the Chesapeake Bay between Annapolis and the Potomac river we can pretty well assure all 27 respondents can attend either by car or boat. 27!!!! Boat Radius Map - It looks like any Chesapeake bay location between Annapolis and Solomons will maximize the available attendees by boat. Somewhere close to 13 boats! Here are some formatted screen shots map screen shots <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8pEh5lnvP1yMUdWdWRha1FxMG8> with proposed range limits I'll put together a list of locations, your suggestions will be included. It still sounds like the 2018 Annapolis Fall boat show is capturing the most attention. The problem is that dockage and moorings are limited during an event of that magnitude. I'm open to your thoughts and solutions.

It looks like most of the people who are going to respond already have. I figure I'll give one last day for any stragglers to get the word and take the survey. Here's my push - If anyone else is interested in attending a 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C rendezvous, please complete the survey at the link below. Your response is being used to evaluate the level of interest and the best compromise of location. <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MFT2GLY> https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MFT2GLY So far I'm getting a lot of interest in Annapolis and Solomons and some interest in doing it in conjunction with the sailboat show.

Edd is already taking about having the 2018 Northeast C&C Rendezvous in Port Jefferson, NY. I strongly urge everyone to consider attending! It was great to finally put faces to names/email addressed. It was cool to see each other's boats and the innovative things each of us have done. We would have loved to have met more people and seen more boats. We would have loved to have brought Sea Hawk but the 6 hour drive would have been more like a 6 day sail and then 6 days back again! In that same spirit I'm considering organizing a 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous. As the organizer I want to reinforce that this isn't MY rendezvous, it is OUR rendezvous. I want as many people to come together by boat, car, plane, or train to share the experience. Owners past, present, and future are all welcome. I could probably use help in many ways and would be happy to take input, feedback and suggestions. In its incipient stage I'm trying to narrow down level of interest and a location that will attract the most people. After that we can narrow down a date/time. And then after that we can iron out to the finer points. To start with here is a survey. I'll take the survey results and develop a location. If you are at all interested in attending a 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous please take a moment to answer these few questions. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MFT2GLY Thanks, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons,MD _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
