Bucks Harbor Yacht Club Cruise
June 25-26. 2022
Background:
A number of BHYC members have been members of an informal sail and power group, the Penobscot Cruising Club (PCC). Over 20+ years this group organized boating lectures over the winter and would have a rendezvous at Holbrook the last Saturday of June. Since most PCC members are now BHYC members, our cruising committee thought that we could try this as a BHYC activity, which we initiated last year, and which was a success despite the covid situation.
Plan:
- Participants should plan to arrive at the Holbrook anchorage on the north side of the Brooksville peninsula.
- Our boats travel as different speeds, so plan to sail (or motor) from Bucks according to the conditions of the day to arrive by early afternoon. Some of us may have just launched, or already be out cruising and will be arriving from other locations.
- Come either around the can on the N side of Holbrook Island, or the S entrance (careful of the ledges S of Ram Island). Drop anchor between the East side of Ram Island and West of the Shale Beach (see attached charts).
- THE DINGY-TIE-UP: At 1600 hours a horn will be sounded and all participants will row or motor their dinghy to join the official DINGY-TIE-UP. Each dinghy should bring an appetizer to share and their own beverage-of-choice. We will float about where the wind, current and conversation take us til appetizers are exhausted.
- After the DINGY-TIE-UP, we will each be able to socialize on our own, visit Holbrook Sanctuary or Holbrook Island.
- Sunday either return to Bucks or continue your cruise.
