Chesapeake Traditional Sailboat Association

The Ice Breaker Social is a potluck dinner held at the vice-commodore’s house. They provide the chili, the club provides the drinks and the members provide the rest! At this meeting, we set our calendar for the year.

This commemoration of the sinking of the Titanic will be combined with an ASA-sponsored talk by the owners of the schooner Huron Jewel, passing through on their way north to their home on Lake Huron at Drummond Island, Michigan.

This friendly competition takes place north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, circling the Baltimore Light, Swan Creek entrance buoy and the Craighill Channel lower range light. A raft-up at Eagle Cove to follow. Details on the member listserv. Check out photos from this year at Gatherings.
