You Don't Need a Bristol to Attend!

The third event of the Chesapeake Bristol Club (CBC) 2015 season was the Planning Meeting and Lunch held at Pirates Cove Restaurant, Galesville, Maryland on the West River.

West Rhode Riverkeeper, Jeff Holland, a guest of the club, provided an informative and interesting presentation about the important work the group is doing on the Rhode and West Rivers from shore restoration, to pollution/runoff prevention, to free (to members) “come-to-your-boat” Pumpout Boat "HoneyDipper".  The Riverkeeper has a very active schedule provided on their website: westrhoderiverkeeper.org.

New members Brian and Deb Wessner were presented with the CBC burgee.

Our next event will be the “Spring Launch Brunch” at Deep Creek Restaurant in Arnold, Maryland on the Magothy River, on April 26, 2015.  As with all our events, you don’t have to have a Bristol nor be a member to attend, non-members are welcome.

Tom Trump, a CBC member who just completed a round-trip Atlantic crossing, in a 35’ sailboat, will be our featured speaker along with Molly Winans, editor of SpinSheet, who will give some insights about what’s happening on the Bay, from that publication’s perspective.

The Club was started in 1974 and was comprised of Bristol sailboat owners.  Our membership is now comprised of owners of many types of sailboats and includes non-boat owners (the latter, those that are former boat owners), as shown in the graphic below:

CBC is a club of members who love the Bay, like sailing, and seek fun with others of like interests.  Membership is $45 per year!  For more information visit our website at: http://cbclub.info or contact Membership Chairman: Norm Bogarde at [email protected].

The activity plan for the remainder of 2015 is below:
