    Skipper:  Ross Rosiak email communicationscommodore@pentagonsailing.org 

    This is a multi-day social sail over the Memorial Day weekend. We depart the marina on Saturday and meet other boats on the bay, raft-up, and spend the day on the water. See flyer attached below.

    Theme: Salty Sailors

    Location: San Domingo Creek and Oxford, MD

    This is a great multi-day experience, where you get to experience the liveaboard style, plus you get to raft-up with other boats. The sail is a great time to practice any skills you may need for a certification, or just to make sure you keep them sharp. If all you want is relax, there will be multiple fore-decks where you can do so.

    The "Labor Day Raft Up" is fast approaching and we are well on our way to planning the event. This year's theme is "Salty Sailors!" - Cheers to those Sailors who have been with PSC for many years and deserve an "Outta Boy". We are planning a fun filled set of events and hope that you are able to participate.

    • 25 May 2024 - Raft Up will be held in San Domingo Creek (Coord. f 38°46'8"N 76°13'42"W) . CAPT Ross Rossiak will be coordinating the information regarding the raft up itself. Vilma Baez will be the planner for the evening event. Once again, it is all about the "Salty Sailors" so wear anything you deem appropriate for the event. This is a hard one so put your mind at work!
    • 26 May 2024 - We will conduct our second event at Oxford, Maryland (coord. 38°41'32"N 76°10'15"W). As for the restaurant, Vilma is still working on the best possible alternative. Count of the event being held around 1500 either catered or at a nearby restaurant.

    Monday we return to our home ports.

    If you intend to take your boat to Oxford, we recommend the Safe Harbor Oxford Marina. You will need to make slip reservations via the DOCKWA app (or at https://dockwa.com safe-harbor-oxford) as soon as possible. The contact at the marina is Jeff Maki, 410-226-5450.

    As mentioned above, Ross will soon provide more details about the raft up. Please let him know about your boat, captain and crew.

    We look forward to seeing you. Please pass the information about the Raft Up to anyone who wants to attend and let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards,

    Vilma Baez baez.vilma@gmail.com 

    Coordinator

    Registration price only covers charter costs. Additional costs such as food, pump-out, fuel, and slip fees will be shared by the crew.

    The charter boat is a catamaran with three 2-person cabins and three singles in salon (sleeping nine). You can check it out here.

    The club may switch to a 4-cabin catamaran if one becomes available, at which point you will have the option of changing your reservation.
