All right folks, With the 2019 Rendezvous only slightly in the rear view mirror, we're already seeing quite a bit of discussion regarding next year. I'll take that as an indication of the success of this year's event!
Additionally, we are already discussing a location for 2021! It tentatively looks like Solomons for 2021. Dates TBD. *As for 2020:* We are *REQUESTING* input on locations and dates. - Weekend dates we are in the early stages of considering are the last weekend of Sept and the first weekend of Oct. (Sept 25, 26,27 and Oct 2, 3, 4) - Previous year's polls have indicated that the highest number of people were interested in locations on the Chesapeake Bay between Annapolis and Solomons. Outliers both further North and South voted but not in sufficiently high numbers to warrant an immediate venue consideration. - I also say that those who attend most in the past get priority vote for future events. As such - *Rainy Days, La Neige, Coquina, Crazy Legs, Der Barron, Sea Hawk, SEA YA !, and Ciothog* - your input is absolutely requested. - A lot of spirit has been generated around Baltimore's Anchorage Marina. All thoughts, inputs, votes, considerations, etc. are more than welcome. *Please! I'm begging! *I'll re-poll shortly but without input we'll have to just make executive decisions. I say it again and again, "This isn't my event, it is ours. If no one attends then the event is a failure of efforts. I want it to be whatever, where ever, and whenever is best for the largest number of interested people." All the best, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD
