I am looking forward very much to see all the beautiful Albin boats at the Cambridge, MD Yacht Club on the Choptank River this summer on June 20, 2014 I have attended the last 4 rendezvous and a nice thing we can offer in Cambridge is the ability to put 25-30 boats all in the same area of slips. The Cambridge Yacht Club added on to their marina a few years ago, and it is not full yet. It will be a magnificent sight to see all our boats right beside each other. I have been a member of the Yacht Club since I was a young teenager, and am friends with the management.
We will be quite welcome there. There is a nice bar and restaurant, and bathrooms with showers at the club. There are 4 or 5 good places to eat within walking distance. There is a bed and breakfast home only two blocks from the yacht club. They have a covered gazebo right by our slips with a bar, and barb-q grill we can use..
As time gets closer, I will post slip prices etc on here, and will be happy to answer any questions

Hi Chesapeake Albin folks,

I don't have anything to do with your event, just want to give a shout out to the Chesapeake folks. My late step dad Mr. Lee Simonds was Vice Commodore and later made Honorary Commodore of the Nanticoke River Yacht Club in Blades, DE before his passing in November, 2011. I've been to the Cambridge club before and it's a nice facility.

I've also cruised the Chesapeake on a 15 ft Montgomery sailboat in 2002 with some guys from the Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group, putting in at Fishing Creek on the Honga River, crossing to Solomons and on up the Patuxent as far as Battle Creek, and then back across to Little Choptank River. Lots of great memories!

Some photos I took during that cruise are still posted here.

If anyone ever has the occasion to visit the NRYC in Blades, drop in and tell them Lee's son Steve said to say hi. Their marina is 9 miles upriver on the Nanticoke from Vienna, MD.
