2006 Mid Atlantic Rendezvous

[Galley_Slave]

Is there any interest from the mid Atlantic Ericson group to rendezvous some time during the summer (2006)? I would be happy to organize the weekend. We would decide on a convenient location based on the number of responses and your home ports.

[Emerald]

Hi,

This sounds like a great idea. Let's see if we can't finally get the Chesapeake Ericson Owner's Association active again. I believe we've got quite a few folks in the area who share the same passion, and some water and land based events would be a great way to meet other owners and swap lies about surfing down 5 foot waves on the Chesapeake :D

We'll try to attend a water gathering- we're pretty busy in the summer, but we should at least be able to circle twice and throw beads or something:tongue:
It's tough for us to get out due to the racing schedule... Too bad the boat can't sail itself!
Chris

[Sean Engle]

When you do, please take a bunch of pictures and send me a CD... :D

[Emerald]

So where are we on this? It would be great to get any number of us Chesapeake Vikings together, even for just an afternoon of splashing around in some cove.

What's a good location for folks, Eastern or Western shores? Should this be something simple like heading down to the Rhodes River or more energetic like we all meet in Oxford?

Let's do something, I am always amazed by the number of Ericsons I see walking around marinas in the Annapolis area. There must be at least 3 of us who would be up for some good Saturday afternoon cheer messing about in our wonderful boats - after all, there is nothing as worth while as messing around in boats (to paraphrase Wind in the Willows).

An afternoon on the Rhodes River will work for me or if you really want an easy raft-up we can head into Mill Creek and lunch at Cantler's :cheers:

[Emerald]

Hmmmm,


that sounds like a really good idea, a bunch of Vikings descending upon Cantler's (via water) for some good food and cheer - they'll never know what hit them if we do it right :devil:

[marid22]

Sounds good to me too! and since I managed to get all the way across this great land last year to gather with the Pacific NW Vikings, if you let me know when I will really try & be there. We would travel via auto (otherwise I should have left already!), but would be happy to meet up at Cantlers.
Yes David I may ask for a little ride on the lovely lady Emerald!

[Galley_Slave]

I've been a bit distracted from checking this site lately, but I see that during my absence there has been some interest to rendezvous somewhere. That's terrific!
Here's the scoop on Cantlers. Neal and I are willing to go, but we just had a conversation with a Cantlers regular last week and he said the quality has gone down hill. We don't go there often enough to judge it ourselves.
Another option would be to meet either on the Rhode River as already suggested or on the West River. There are plenty of restaurants to pick from on the West.
It doesn't really matter to us where we meet. Some place new is always exciting to us.
Next, we should pick a date. How does July 15/16 sound to everyone?

[therapidone]

Greetings All,

As David knows (and some others based upon emails exchanged elsewhere), Spirit would happily join other Ericsons on the bay; however, the 15th & 16th of July are out...Spirit only enters one race per year...the Solomons overnight race from Annapolis...it starts on 7/14...takes us all night to get there based upon 2 previous entries plus crewing on another's boat 3 years ago...then we join in the partying all day Saturday & somehow wake up on Sunday to make our way back to Selby Bay, just upstream a bit from the mouth of the South River.

Anyone else entering in Solomons this year?

Regards,

Ed

[Galley_Slave]

I forgot about the race. We threaten to join it every year, but haven't tried it yet. Let's try another date then. The first weekend in August? We may all end up motoring!!! We'll have to stock up on the margarita fixins and the gin and tonics to keep us cool.

[Annapolis E-27]

August huh? Good hot, heavy air and light wind. Motor slow so my little
YSB-8 can keep up. :D

[therapidone]

Unless something drastic happens between now and then, the first weekend in August would work just fine for us. The Rhode River idea is just a hop, skip, and a jump for us to make & affords great anchorages. There are several restaurants in Galesville just past where the Rhode enters the West River, but I'm not all that familiar with anchoring in the West (we've always tied up at an open slip at the end of the dock to dine at the Pirate's Cove restaurant) River. Oxford and its environs along the Tred Avon River is a little more of a sail to reach & has some restaurants to commend, chief among them, in my mind, is The Robert Morris Inn. I don't know anything about anchoring near Oxford besides the possible sites (Goldsborough, Trippe, and Plaindealing creeks) that I mentioned in an email in another site, but there are a number of marinas with transient slips available once one enters Town Creek.

Incidentally, with absolutely no racing chops to my credit except for Solomons, my reasons for entering Solomons Race include:
a) the attraction of sailing all night long down the bay,

b) challenging our navigation skills in the dark to avoid the skinny water & fish traps while looking for familiar lights/landmarks on shore,

c) monitoring ch 13 on the VHF to listen to the freighter captains' humorous discussions of the mess that they see on their radar as they make their ways either up or down the bay,

d) avoiding the freighters and tugs that are either pushing or towing barges,
e) dining on cold fried chicken, oatmeal & raisin cookies, beer, and/or dark and stormies for breakfast :egrin:, and
f) the great partying that goes on at Zahniser's Marina all day Saturday.

We also know a number of other entrants as well as some of the volunteers, who are all members of Eastport Yacht Club in Annapolis, er, excuse me, in the Maritime Republic of Eastport, running the event at Zahnisers.

Even though Spirit is only a 30-footer, we have a crew of 4 so that watches (4 hours each unless an all-hands-on-deck circumstance should arise) consist of 2 people.

Our only racing goal is crossing the finish line without incident. You really should consider entering it if any or all of the above reasons appeal to you.

Regards,

Ed

August huh? Good hot, heavy air and light wind. Motor slow so my little
YSB-8 can keep up. :D
Mill Creek and Cantlers sounds great to me as an idea for a get-together of Ericsons, too.:egrin: The hearsay :devil: about how Cantlers has declined causes me to point out that the main attractions are the crabs (how can you mess up crabs??) and its location overlooking Mill Creek. I've been there several times over the past 2 years & the service was ok and the crabs were great...I don't know too much about the rest of the menu, so Cantlers is still high on my list of sites.

As for the hot, heavy air in August, last year we had 4 or 5 great days of sailing during August (we usually only get out on the weekends)...much to our surprise! So, anything is possible. My biggest concern is not so much not being able to sail & having to motor to a get-together, it's how poorly I sleep in hot, humid air aboard the boat at that time of the year.:boohoo:

Regards,

Ed

[Emerald]

First weekend in August works for me also. I think I am willing to risk Cantler's and do a first hand evaluation on the crabs and cherry stones etc. Not to mention it's hard to mess up cold beer on an August day.


So, looking at the above posts, do we have a date and place at last for the first weekend in August in Mill Creek in front of (as much as makes sense) Cantler's to stage a water based Viking assault via raft-up on Maryland Blue Crabs etc? (of course, those who can only make it by land can do that to).

We'll have Sequoia out for Governor's Cup (Annapolis to St. Mary's) leaving that Friday evening, but we'll be in Naptown on Thursday night if anyone wants to grab a beer at Boatyard or Davis's. Also, the start of the Governor's cup is always impressive on Friday night just outside the harbor at Annapolis Red #2. http://www.smcm.edu/govcup/
Have a great time and eat some crabs and cold one's for us :egrin:

[CaptnNero]

We like your Thursday night idea too. Peg (Galley_Slave) and I can drive up Thursday evening before you guys take off for the other overnighter.

Your awesome photo reminds me of when lightning was striking all around us on one of our boats, but that's another story ;) .

First weekend in August is great! If you head past Cantler's on Mill Creek and turn to port around the shoal marker there is a wide spot in the creek to raft up and you are out of the Cantler's traffic and PWCs.

[Emerald]

After much plotting amongst several Ericson owners, there will be a raft up of Ericsons on the Chesapeake on Saturday afternoon, August 5th on Mill Creek, within rowing distance of Cantler's. This will be an event that can be attended by water or land. I anticipate that there should be many hungry Vikings clamoring for crabs, clams, cold beer etc. after braving the first weekend afternoon of August. Let's plan on gathering mid to late afternoon for some August cheer. Here is a link to Cantler's Website:

http://www.cantlers.com/index.shtml

Of note, if properly located, Mill Creek does have some decent spots where those interested can anchor overnight leaving no end to when the festivities conclude. Post back here with questions etc.


Also, I will be posting information shortly regarding another Chesapeake Ericson event - the 3rd annual Sailboat Show Rendezvous. This will be Saturday late afternoon, October 7, at a location to be determined. For some preliminary information on the show itself, check here:

I'm pretty sure CaptnNero (Neal) and I will be overnighting that weekend. Looking forward to sharing stories with other Ericson devotees.

[Galley_Slave]

Has everyone put the Aug 5th raft on their calendar? :egrin: Get those sitters lined up!!!! (kids and pets)

[CaptnNero]

I'm planning on bringing my handheld laser tach to the August rendezvous in case anyone wants to calibrate their tach then. It's fairly easy to do.

[Emerald]

As long as we keep them out of the rum and beer, the kids and pets really shouldn't be a problem - getting an all day babby-sitter in the summer time can be a deal breaker - and if we have any badly behaved kids, well, there's nothin' like a little keel haulin' to shape 'em right back up :devil:


Look forward to seeing a bunch of other Ericson owners on the 5th!

Ya know, this sounds like we should just make it an event for entertainment - how fast can we haul the trouble maker from one side to the other - Now, do we need a PHRF type rating system to address full keels, wing keels, etc? :D

[therapidone]

If there is going to be keel haulin' over, er should I say under, full keels and wing keels, do you think we could charge admission to the entertainment?:devil:

Also, Spirit's "regular" (read here: not shoal draft) fin was "shaved" and a Mars Metal bulb attached...would we have to consider style points for the different types of keels?

Looking forward to meeting fellow Ericson owners, crabs, cold beer, rum, and keel haulin'!

Regards,

Ed

[CaptnNero]

You all can charge admission if you want, but I'll gladly host the keel haulin part for free!

The big moment is approaching & a bunch of thoughts have been running through my head.:thinker:

Given that it's Cantler's and it's a Saturday night, maybe getting there earlier rather than at the more accepted dinner hour (whatever that is) is in order.

I'm open to earlier or later...just throwing out some thoughts here.

How many folks have dinghies? I thought I did--well, I actually DO have an inflatable, but I've just found out that I don't have a functioning foot pump for it ...so I'm guessing that unless I can find a replacement foot pump, it's probably not going to be of much use all wrinkled up and limp (sound familiar?:devil: ) even if I do install the rigid floor.:esad:

Do we have a show of hands as to how many intend to come at this point (Spirit is raising it's "hand" to indicate her participation)? Should we monitor a VHF channel?

If you're not famililar with Whitehall Bay and its shallows & the circuitous, serpentine entrance to Mill Creek, I'd suggest studying up on some charts...on the other hand, as they say, "if you haven't run aground in the Chesapeake, you haven't been sailing on the Chesapeake."

Looking forward to meeting fellow Vikings!:cheers:

Regards,

Ed:egrin:

[Annapolis E-27]

Evening Tide will be there or at least I will be there by land. The best raft up area on Mill Creek is just after the unmarked green shoal marker in the creek past Cantler's where there is an almost 90degree turn to port. The shoal marker is for real. Also, drawing only 3'11", don't turn to port into Martin's Cove just before Cantler's. I don't know if that is where the oyster shells go but I can assure you the is an unmarked shoal area right there. At Cantler's on Saturday th earlier the better. They even valet park on the weekends now.

See you there!!!!

[Shadowfax]

I'm not sure we can make it, or not, as there is a lot going on shore side.

However we do Cantler's a couple, three times a year. I find that going in before they start serving dinner, i.e. 3,4 o'clock, that the service and food is better. Stopping by again after 8 reveals an entirely different crowd. Doing Cantler's for dinner, on a Saturday night, in August, can be a daunting experience, but that might just be me.

Hope to see you all there

[Annapolis E-27]

As I recommended...the earlier the better. You have to trust me on this one. I live about ten houses down the road from Cantler's.

[Sean Engle]

Just a reminder - please take a bunch of images (someone) and send me a CD (http://www.ericsonyachts.org/contact/contact_info.htm), ok?

Thanks!

[CaptnNero]

Thanks but we'll park our own boat!

Greetings Sean,

I keep 2 cameras (one digital & one, older point-n'-shoot slr) in my backpack that I bring along with me every time we go to the boat...I have yet to take a pic this year!:redface: If I can remember, I'll try to take pics...assuming that I do, with the digital pics, I can send as attachments to emails, no? or would you prefer that I burn a CD?...and when (again, assuming I actually take pics) I take the film to be developed, I'll ask for a CD.

Regards,

Ed:egrin:

[Sean Engle]

No, no - it's ok. You actually have three choices:

- Email them to me (sean@ericsonyachts.org), or
- Post them to me on a CD (http://www.ericsonyachts.org/contact/contact_info.htm), or
- Upload them to the FTP site using MS Internet Explorer (http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=2860)...

The only reason I suggested the CD is some people have problems using the FTP site, and often the images are too large for email (we prefer higher resolution images).

Have a great Rendezvous! I hope you guys manage to stay cool back there (I won't point out that our high/low here today is 73/54...:D )!

[Emerald]

Hi All,


Let's set a time for starting libations at Cantler's. In a perfect world, we would all be attending this event via water. Alas, it is not a perfect world and Emerald is suffering from mechanical propulsion issues that have me stuck in my slip, and no, don't tell me it's a sail boat, as Mill Creek is one of the longest, narrowest, twisty passages with no room for error as it has shoals and submerged piles etc. - not the place to go when you know you have serious iron genny problems, if it would even run long enough to get me up the river (the wind forecast this weekend is, well, non-existant).

So, with the long winded preamble, and also knowing that Cantler's is very busy on a Saturday, how would it sound if we started gathering at 3:30PM on Saturday afternoon? This would actually give a time we can shoot for where we know we can get a table overlooking Mill Creek to admire the Ericsons below, the beer will be plentiful and the crabs should be hot, so the festivities could begin and continue as long as we are still standing, or sitting, or ....


So, what you all say to 3:30 as a start time?

[CaptnNero]

David,

So sorry to hear about the "auxiliary" woes. As for the weather forecast, at least the temperature is supposed to drop to the mid 80's.

3:30 is a good time for us. Barring serve thunderstorm activity, KOKOMO will probably start the trip from Deale Friday evening so that should make it easier to come up Mill Creek by early afternoon.

ps - Sean, I certainly do appreciate that you didn't even point out your high/low of 73/54 ! :boohoo: This time of year I slow to the "island shuffle" in the middle of the day instead of my normal quick gate.

[therapidone]

David,

In my posting the other day, I was going to suggest 3:00 & then thought, "If I start making suggestions about timing, etc., am I going to be perceived as a control freak?" Perhaps, I was being a bit too touchy about the issue; nevertheless, I'm thinking that if we are to be AT Cantler's at 3:30, this requires at least a couple of boats having anchored and rafted up by 3:00 or so...'cuz if we wait until after having a few (or more) cold ones & our time together stretches into the night, rafting up might be more than a bit difficult.

I'm not certain yet how many Ericson sailboats are going to show up, but I do know that Cantler's dock space isn't unlimited & is only to be used while one is dining there.

Regards,

Ed:egrin:

[CaptnNero]

David, based on your comments I just took a look at a chart for Mill Creek. That first hairpin turn looks like #8 and #6 could be in somebody's yard !

It reminds me of an approach to Deltaville, Va last year on a friend's boat where there was an immediate hairpin turn that took you almost ashore. I was cool about it but one of the owners was not. With the sun overhead you could even see the bottom just over the rail.

Thanks for the heads up.

Stay to port along #6 and #8 as you enter Mill Creek and you will be fine. The most popular spot to raft-up in Mill Creek is just beyond #11. See you all at 3:30.

[CaptnNero]

Thanks for the tips, see you at 3:30 past 11 at Evening Tide. Are you sure about that tide ? ;)

[therapidone]

I just thought I'd post a quick note of how much we appreciated meeting everybody & how we'd like to see everybody (and more) again! It was great to meet:
Cap'n Nero (Neal) and the Galley Slave (Peg) both of Kokomo & to whom much thanks :clap: is owed for hosting delightful chat & drinks at the post-Cantler's get-together in Kokomo's cockpit, Mark of Evening Tide near Cantler's (who almost bought Spirit before we glommed on to her), Vince of Wild Blue (nice t-shirt, Vince, and a beautiful boat!) who single-handed her over from Mears Point & headed back under the moonlight--since we didn't see Wild Blue aground, we're assuming Vince had no trouble exiting, in the dark, the hair-pin channel marked almost exclusively by day markers into Whitehall Bay, 'bella (aka Anne, who showed up via land yacht after securing the purchase of a '62 LeCompte...hey, there's absolutlely NO relationship 'twixt Ericsons and LeComptes other than they are both sailing vessels!), and the 2 easy-going vagabonds from the Philly area, Vernon and Dan (Vernon's "hot blonde"--his description, not mine, but I wouldn't argue with it--daughter, Kim, showed up also via land yacht from DC), who get the prize for coming the greatest distance & also deserve many thanks :hail: for towing our dinghy to and fro saving me much needed exercise and a lot of time as the raft-up was at least a half-mile away from Cantler's, Emerald's previous owner, another David (Ray--sp?--as surname), and, finally, David Auld of Emerald, who also had to make his way to the event via land yacht 'cuz of what he insists is a spell that I cast upon Emerald causing the transmission to be in need of major medical attention.

Spirit arrived late (we were having too much fun sailing)...another great day on the bay this summer--very, very unusual--as we came out of the South River, headed SSE close-hulled 'til we were certain that our one and only tack would keep Thomas Point Light on our port, tacked that one time & sailed all the way to the entrance of Whitehall Bay on that starboard tack, again close-hulled, at approx 5.5kt the entire way, occasionally "streaking" into the plus-6kt territory, towing the inflatable--well, semi-inflatable, as it turned out--dinghy, carrying myself, Cathy, and #2 son, Keith, who drove down from Pittsburgh to spend the weekend w/ us.:D

Much thanks and praise to David Auld's organizing efforts!:clap: :hail:

Sean: others took the pics, so it will be up to them to get them to you!:unsure:

Unfortunately, we've made plans to be out of the area the weekend of the Annapolis Sailboat Show in October (10/5-9, Columbus Day holiday weekend), which is when the next scheduled "affair" of the CEOs (Chesapeake Ericson Owners) is, more or less, set to take place...more to come.

Regards,

Ed:egrin:

[Emerald]

Think it is safe to say that this was a good event and fun was had by all. I finally have sent my pictures off to Sean (as others have, I believe).

Now, start thinking about the Annapolis Sailboat show this October. Plans are afoot for another gathering that Saturday (October 7th, 2006).

Hi Paul,

I sent the pictures to Sean so he could post higher resolutions than what I can upload. I think some other folks took some pictures also and are sending/sent them to Sean.

Stay tuned to see a er, um interesting collection of Vikings having fun.

Apologies to all. I have been a bit busy and haven't sent Sean my pictures from the rendezvous yet. Will do my best to get them out today.

[Sean Engle]

Ok-Ok ; here are the images that David sent me. I'm actually in the process of creating the initial framework for a new site - including spaces (aka 'Regional Pages) where all the images from rendezvous will go - but right now I just wanted to get some images out to you guys...

Also - an outline of who is who...from one of the attendees:

Thanks very much, Sean! And you have no need to apologize...It must be a labor of love for you 'cuz it certainly seems to me that it's almost like a half-time-to-full-time job with what you do on the EYO site!

I don't know whether anybody identified the folks at the table for you, but, in the event that you wanted to put faces to names of folks who post on the forum, starting from the right foreground & moving counter-clockwise:
Vernon (I've forgotten his last name), owner of Betty Anne (E-29), his crew and friend, Dan, David Auld (Emerald's owner--E-31 Independence), David Ray (Emerald's previous owner), unseen behind D. Ray is Vince Benn (E-38), owner of Wild Blue, then we have the Galley Slave at the head of the table, aka Peg, swinging around the far left corner of the table to her right, is her husband, Neal & they comprise the Vanderlipp's, who own Kokomo (E-34 200), then Mark, the owner of Evening Tide (E-27, who almost bought Spirit before we did 3.5 years ago), then my wife and best friend, Cathy, myself, and #2 son, Keith (down from Pittsburgh, PA, area to spend the weekend sailing w/ us), all aboard Spirit.

A woman who posts regularly to the Sailnet Ericson owners listserv, 'bella (aka Anne), arrived late & missed the pic taking after having eschwed the purchase of an Ericson earlier that day & settled, instead, on a '63 Le Comte...also, Vernon's daughter, Kim, arrived late having driven from DC to meet up w/ her father & to check out his sailboat. Vern and Dan had made their way from the Philadelphia area, down the Delaware River, into the Delaware Bay, then across the Chesapeake/Delaware Canal, and down the Chesapeake to the Annapolis area...they left Sunday morning to begin their 1.5 - 2 day trip back & were really great guys...in fact, we didn't find a stinker among the folks we met...but I never said that in front of any of them...don't want folks to get a big head, ya know.

The reason that we all still look relatively coherent & the table relatively orderly is that this was early in our "meeting"...neither the crabs nor the buckets after buckets of beers had begun to arrive at that point.

Thanks again for all the work you do & in making this much used and appreciated service available.

Regards,
Ed
