Be sure to include the 2016 Hunter Rendezvous in Solomons June 23-26 in your summer plans. This event is open to anyone interested in sailing, not only Hunter and Marlow-Hunter sailboat owners. The air conditioned Harms Gallery at the Calvert Marine Museum is the venue for classes, entertainment, and the dinner on Saturday. Speakers will cover topics from the health of the Chesapeake, cruising the Exumas, the Patuxent Naval Air Station, boat electronics, and flares and firefighting. The staff of Norton Yachts will present highlights of their popular “Everything Sail” seminar.
The keynote speaker on Saturday evening will be boating author Melanie Neale. Entertainment will include Jim and Kathy on Friday and Wheelhouse on Saturday. Friday night will feature the award winning movie “One Simple Question,” about a young couple’s voyage to find an iceberg and their discoveries about life.
Rendezvous registrants will have a chance to show their generosity by supporting a food drive for the local food pantry. At the movie we will collect non-perishable food for the local SMILE (Service Makes Individual Lives Exciting) Food Bank (smileinc.org). To register for the rendezvous, visit back2bay.org.
