Over 25 power and sail boats brought more than 60 members who enjoyed the weekend’s four days of beautiful weather and the two dinners and a breakfast held at Haven Harbor Marina in Rock Hall. A spirited Bocce Ball competition was featured Sunday afternoon On June 4th, the Club held its Midweek Event, a leisurely lunch raft up on the Rhode River, LAT 38.52N, LON 76.31, where those attending shared a meal and specially prepared desserts while visiting, swimming, and relaxing with fellow members and guests. Several boats even remained overnight. These are opportunities to enjoy the Chesapeake's beautiful creeks and rivers during a more quiet Midweek time.
