Memorial Day Weekend Cruise to Onancock

Our shake-down cruise to Yopp's Cove was great, meaning its now time for some serious cruising! The RPYC fleet will leave Regent Point on Saturday morning (May 26) and head E NE for Onancock Creek and the town of Onancock. You’ll enjoy some fine “open Bay” sailing, followed by a leisurely trip up tree-lined Onancock Creek, past some of the finest properties on the Chesapeake! Leave yourself six hours for the trip, give or take.

We’ve reserved all available slips at the town marina. (You may still anchor out and dinghy in for cocktails and dinner). We will gather for a “Pot Luck” (BYOB) cocktail party at the dock at 5:00 followed by dinner at Mallard's at 7:00. On Sunday, leave for a destination of your choice, back across the Bay or to wherever you choose. Have additional questions? Email event coordinator Barry Newland.

 

The Tall Ships are Coming!

OpSail 2012 Virginia will mark the bicentennial of the War of 1812 with the largest gathering of tall ships and international navy vessels. The events start in Norfolk on June 7 with Harborfest. On Tuesday, June 12, the fleet will leave Norfolk and proceed, in formation, up the Chesapeake Bay at a speed of six knots. Seeing and/or sailing with these ships will be an experience of a lifetime. Although no official RPYC event is planned, several club members are planning to gather around Mobjack Bay and will cruise north with the tall ships. More details to follow, but mark your calendars for this will truly be a unique event.
