Join BBSA sailors for a DELMARVA circumnavigation. The 9 days – 8 nights (Aug 22 thru Aug 30) schedule allows for extra time if needed. We will transit the coastal Atlantic waters, Delaware Bay, C&D Canal, and Chesapeake Bay either clockwise or counterclockwise, weather and current dependent. Additionally, a full moon is forecast for Aug 28.
The itinerary will include an overnight coastal passage from Little Creek, VA to Lewes, MD. This could be at the start of the week or the end. Overnight passages are more spectacular with or near a full moon. Overnight stops will give opportunities for marina stays and anchorages with visits ashore. The direction of the circumnavigation will be set as the cruise date approaches.
