"A multihull raft-up and shore-side picnic is being held on Wilson Creek off the Ware River.  The Ware River is off Mobjack Bay, in the lower Chesapeake.  Bring your family or friends!

The raft-up/picnic is planned for Saturday, June 19, 2004.  The pot-luck dinner will be at the home of Pat and Bob Englert on Wilson Creek.  The Englert's dock can be identified with the large (5' x 3'), blue CCMA burgee and is available to tie-up/raft-up or dinghy ashore.  The social hour starts around 3:00 PM with dinner around 5:30 PM. 

Please brind a main dish, MAJOR salad, Heavy hor d' vours or Serious desert, enough to serve 6 to 8 adults.  Plan to provide your own choice of beverage.  Paper plates, cups and eating utensils will be provided.  A serving table will be available.

Maps and directions will be posted (when I get them scanned - Phil) for both land and sea routes.  Wilson Creek is off Route #17 in Gloucester County, VA.  The site is about 1 hour north of Norfolk, VA and 2 hours southeast of Fredericksburg, VA, or about 3 hours from Annapolis, MD via route 301 (south) and #17 (south).  Several small, locally owned motels are nearby for those from out-of-town or withot boats.  Please phone Nat (703-256-9461) or Bob (804-693-5191) if you have any questions or need more information.

If you are not familiar with the Mobjack Bay area, plan on being self-sufficient.  There are no nearby marina facilities for food, ice, fuel, trash removal or holding tank pumpout.

See you there!!"
