There’s something very special about sailboat cruising. As soon as you step aboard, stow your gear and meet your sailing companions you will get that feeling of excitement and you’ll know that you are headed for an adventure. At times you rush along with "a bone in her teeth". The wake is a boiling trail of white water, the boat is heeled with the leeward rail cutting through the water. You’ve got the helm firmly and confidently in your grasp. At other times, sailing will be a gentle wandering up a narrow waterway, the shore close by. You’ll be at anchor soon, to enjoy the evening with happy hour, a barbecue, maybe a swim and then time to just sit in the cockpit and talk. (How long has it been since you took the time to exchange ideas and thoughts.) So, don’t hesitate, don’t procrastinate, sign up today. Let’s start our adventure!

Possible Itineraries
The point at which the Patapsco River meets the main channel of the Bay is the center of the finest cruising destinations. Excellent destinations exist for a single-day cruise and for extended cruises. They include Annapolis, St. Michaels, Rock Hall and Swan Creek, the Magothy and Chester Rivers, and Bodkin, Fairlee and Worten Creeks just to mention a few.
