CCYC's Icebreaker will be held on Saturday, May 1st at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis on Harness Creek, just off the South River. We have reserved the Dogwood Pavilion in the park, which is the same spot we've had for the last few years. It is conveniently located for boaters as well as landlubbers. There is easy parking for drivers and it is just a short walk from the dock for sailors.
The park is open from 7:00 AM to dusk and we have reserved the pavilion from 12:00 PM on, so you are welcome to come early if you like. Happy hour will start around 3:00 PM, followed by a potluck dinner at 5:00 PM. Those attending should bring their own main dish, beverages and hors d'oeuvre or a side dish to share. The Club will provide charcoal for grilling. We will provide plates and utensils but please bring serving spoons, grilling utensils, etc if you need them.
If you are joining us by sea, head for the South River. Continue up the river for about 2 ½ miles and just short of Red 10, you'll see the entrance to Harness Creek on the north shore. After you enter the creek, you'll see Quiet Waters Park ahead. Take the branch to the left and look for the Park dock on the right. (Click on image to right for detail)
In years past, we have found that due to the size of the creek and some problems with getting a rock solid holding that we have not formed our typical huge raft-up with all boats tied together on one anchor. Instead we recommend that you form smaller groups. Bryan and I will most likely be coming by land, but we can be reached by cell phone at 240-460-7632 all day.
FYI, the Park Dock is not a public dock. It is used by the vendor who rents out kayaks and canoes. In the past, they have graciously allowed us to use some spots to tie up our dinghies, but we don't want to abuse that privilege so please try to double up with others when you come ashore.
To get to Quiet Waters Park by land, take Exit 22 (Route 665/Aris T. Allen Blvd) from US-50 in Annapolis. Stay on Rt. 665 as it merges with Forest Drive for 2 miles. Turn right at the Exxon Station (across from West Marine) onto Hillsmere Drive. The park entrance is 100 yards on the right hand side. (There is a $6 fee per car at the entrance.) Inside the park, stay on the road until past the White Oak Pavilion and look for the Dogwood Pavilion. (Click on image to right for detail)
Looking forward to seeing you there!
