Baltimore Rendezvous
Inner Harbor East Marina
August 14-15
We are going to repeat the gratifying experience we had at Inner Harbor East Marina in Baltimore, captained last year by Kim Wolkins and Bryan Armentrout. Inner Harbor East Marina is located at the base of Little Italy and is the closest marina to Inner Harbor and Fells Pt. (N 39 16’ 530 W 76 36’ 100; monitor on VHF 68.) It has brand new bath/shower facilities, lounge, and offices.
Schedule
Saturday Aug. 14
We plan to have contributed cocktails and Hors d’Oeuvres starting at 4:00 pm on the “party dock”, around which most of us will be tied up. After this, we have a group reservation at 6:30 pm at the award winning Amiccis restaurant located at 231 S. High St. in Little Italy. (Click on map to right for directions.)
You can order your selection from the menu (check web site). Most dinners are under $20. Drinks, taxes, and gratuity are extra. You can come by land or sea to the restaurant, however, I need to place reservations by Aug. 11, so let me know if you will join us at the restaurant.
After the restaurant, we can all return to the “party dock” and listen to the sounds of the Inner Harbor concert featuring the Key West Band (a Jimmy Buffet tribute band) or walk to the amphitheater in Inner Harbor to see the concert (free). Of course there are a host of other activities you can do all within walking distance to the marina.
Sunday Aug. 15
For those who may be interested, there is a very nice Sunday Brunch (11-2:30pm) at the James Joyce Irish Pub.

Each captain must check in upon docking. You have the option to book for more than the night of Aug. 14, but you need to reserve those nights when you call. We have only 18 slip reservations for Aug. 14, so it is a “first come-first served.” Reserve EARLY.

Early arrivers or Late stayers can do a host of activities from the Marina. Here is a list of a few options:
- Water Taxi ($10/day) is just 50 yards from the marina

Claire and I will be coming in on Saturday by boat. We'll try not to do too much damage to the marina on the way in and out this year.

There are a few folks who will arrive on/before Friday and stay through Saturday. Perhaps we can have a little "drink etc" on the party dock on Friday evening.
