BLUE ANGELS PLUS

MARYLAND FLEET WEEK

Baltimore, MD October 12-14, 2016

This October, Baltimore is holding a new event, Maryland Fleet Week, from October 13-19. As part of that event, the Blue Angels will practice and perform. They will practice from 1-4 pm Thursday, October 13 and Friday, October 14. They will also perform on Saturday, October 15 and Sunday, October 16. Maryland Fleet Week is a free event featuring tours of gray naval vessels from a number of countries and possibly some tall ships.

The weekend days will probably be jam packed on land and in the restaurants, as usual for these free events, so I think the best viewing and Baltimore experience will be Wednesday, October 13 and Thursday, October 13. The Patapsco River will be closed to marine traffic before and during the Blue Angels events, so we need to arrive on Wednesday afternoon, October 12 to get there before the harbor is closed. BONUS! The Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race starts at the Bay Bridge, mid day October 12, so we can watch that start on the way to Baltimore

While the Inner Harbor East Marina is a great spot, they are under new management and have raised their rates to $3.50/foot for this event. Therefore, I suggest we go to HarborView Marina, on the other side of the harbor, whose rates will be $2.50/foot Wednesday & Thursday, and $3.00/foot Friday, plus $18/day for 30A power. Contact Bill (former manager of Inner Harbor East) or Lisa at 410-752-1122 for reservations, and mention Corinthians when making reservations. I strongly recommend making reservations now, since they will fill up fast as we get into fall. It’s easier to cancel later, with a full refund for cancellations over 48 hours in advance. Please contact John Pasley at 301-879-9774 or jpasley8@gmail.com for information and to help us know who’s coming.

Electronic Navigation

Navigation today involves many electronic systems, including not only GPS and various radios but the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to prevent collisions, electronic chart plotters, and much more. Activities Chairman Dick Marsh will give a presentation about these systems and how to interconnect them to maximize safety on the water. How does one detect and avoid dangers like the tow below? Dick has navigated many offshore races, including a Class D win in the 2011 Marion-Bermuda Race.

This talk will be held at scenic City Island Yacht Club. It will be followed by a dinner hosted by Master’s Mate Larry Mead and featuring the usual Corinthian conviviality.

2016 Eggnog Party Guest Speaker: Long Term Corinthian Bob Osborn

Sunday, December 4th Cruising Cuba: Forbidden Paradise

In March and April of 2016 Bob and Brenda Osborn spent two months cruising the south coast of Cuba aboard their 47’, 6.5’ draft Aerodyne composite sailboat Pandora. Pandora left the U.S. and traveled south through the Bahamas, the Windward Passage, left Haiti to port and turned west along the south coast of Cuba. They passed Guantanamo naval base and cleared in at Santiago de Cuba, the first port of entry on the SE coast of Cuba. From there they explored the south coast, rounded the western tip of Cuba and headed east to Marina Hemmingway and Havana. They left Marina Hemmingway and cleared in at Ft Lauderdale.

Bob will share how he gained the needed approvals to make the trip along with his personal experience of visiting this country’s largest ports along with its rural villages, none of which have changed since the 50s. Of course, he’ll have plenty to say about those wonderful classic cars too.
