[Rhodes22-list] Annapolis Show and Tell - luncheon and gizmos

Tue Jun 29 11:27:20 EDT 2010

Art,
If you are looking for a campground, Cedar Forest looks to be fairly 
primitive. It doesn't list any facilities.
http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/camppg.asp
The Cherry Hill Park listed on that website is privately owned but is 
the one RV'ers always recommend for visiting DC. It's a ways from 
Annapolis and there is Beltway traffic to deal with but it might be a 
possibility.

The problem with the Annapolis area during the Boat Shows is that it 
is mostly booked up though perhaps not as much as it was a couple of 
years ago.

A couple of other thoughts come to mind. One is Camp Letts, the YMCA 
camp on the Rhode River. The SSCA (Seven Seas Cruising Association) 
which is a big well organized membership organization group does 
their "annual gam" at Camp Letts. Not sure if they have docks large 
enough to accommodate a R22 but they are available year-round for 
weddings and family retreats. It would take a bunch of organizing (NO NOT ME).

Another possibility would be to find a marina or yacht club with a 
ramp on site or nearby. Because I was just mentioning the Rhode 
River, Holiday Hill Marina came to mind. I know of several trailer 
sailors visiting the Chesapeake who have used it in the past 
including I think Peter Thorn - not for a gathering - just for a 
launch point. I've never been there but it might work for a more 
informal gathering and they are small boat oriented.

Not sure a get-together should be planned at the same time as the 
boat show or just before or after. A different time of year would 
work for the Chesapeake sailors but its always great to have 
out-of-towners like we do for the boat show.
