A Rejuvenation of Mind, Body & Spirit, Part II

The Memorial Day weekend trip features three days on the water, with pre-boarding the evening of Friday, May 23rd. We have three boats waiting for us at Haven Charters in Rock Hall, MD. In addition to all of the usual fun we have sailing together, we have planned this trip as a rejuvenation of mind, body & spirit!

Saturday morning begins with an hour of yoga on the dock with an instructor. After boat checkouts and breakfast we will depart for a full day on the water as we head for the Wye River, about 25 miles, and our ultimate destination – Shaw Bay, a beautiful cove just a five mile stones throw from St. Michaels. We will raft up, so plan your hors d’oeuvres for dinner.

Before, or after, breakfast on Sunday morning we will have our Second Annual Service of the Church of the Chesapeake, when everyone should feel free to share a favorite poem, prayer or reading. Then we will set sail for St. Michaels a short trip from our anchorage. For those who wish to depart from their boat to explore ashore there are bicycle rentals, shops and many restaurants, so plan on dinner out. For those who haven’t been before, you can check out www.stmichaelsmd.org. The Chesapeake Maritime Museum is a must and you can learn more about it at www.cbmm.org. The club has included dockage at the St. Michaels Harbor Inn, Marina & Spa…a mini resort with swimming pool, restaurant and spa (www.harbourinn.com/). In an effort to address the “body” aspect of the experience anyone who wishes can make reservations for a massage, facial, manicure, etc. It will be the perfect time and place to indulge yourself. For those to prefer to continue to sail our boats will head back out for more fun on the water. On Monday morning we head out, back to Haven with our spirits completely refreshed. This part of the trip is again about 25 miles. With mind, body & spirits rejuvenated, the drive home at the end of the holiday weekend will seem effortless.

The cost of the trip is $400.00 per person (skippers - $215.00). This price includes charter fees, slip fees and insurance. Food, fuel and other incidental expenses are additional and will be handled by each boat’s crew. Full payment is required with your sign up. Please make your check payable to The Sailing Club, Inc. and mail it, along with your completed reservation form, to Theresa Petras at the address below. Reservations will be processed beginning April 11, 2008 with a random draw of those received by that date. All reservations received after that date are on a first-come, first served basis.

A pre-trip meeting will be held at a time and place to be announced. All crewmembers should make every effort to attend in order to meet your crewmates, plan your meals, and make travel plans.
