Thank you for enquiring about the attending the Lyle Hess Tribute by land.
We welcome all owners of Lyle Hess designs and it would be very, very
wonderful if you can make it. We just sold “Misty” hull no 5 up in Anacortes
and we think we saw your boat there in the marina. She is lovely!
From Baltimore, it is only about 90 minutes to Vera’s White Sands. There are
two Holiday Inns nearby. Plan to be at Vera’s on Saturday afternoon as all
the boats will be gathering. I think we might raft up for a while in the
afternoon to visit and then maybe break up the raft before the Cocktail
Party!
RogueWave is hosting the cocktail party from 6-7PM in the Bar at Vera’s.
Then we will have a buffet dinner for all those who want to sign up and pay
the $25 for dinner. All the Mongomery 17 owners are signing up for dinner,
so we expect a nice dinner party.
Bring some nice pictures of your baby!
We’d love to have people fly in. Everyone who owns a Lyle Hess design is
invited.

Get there by 1:00PM on Saturday. (Some folks are getting there on Friday
night.)
Newsflash update! Vera’s is only charging us $1.00 per foot for docking and
they have lots of space. Call Vera’s Vera’s White Sands Restaurant and
Marina to reserve. There will probably be space when you get there. Phone:
(410) 586-1182
Boat Crawl: Everyone will be there by 1:00 PM on Saturday so we can crawl on
each others boats in the afternoon either on the docks or in a raft.
Cocktails: On RogueWave at 6:30 in Vera’s Leopard Lounge!!!
Dinner: 7:30 PM Buffet with great food. So far we’ll be 40 people for
dinner! And I’ll need a count by Wednesday the 22nd.
Kate: can probably make it via auto for dinner and hopefully i will still have a chance to see some of the BCCs sunday morning. Currently on san juan island with the boat. Sailled into a huge pod of Orca whales on the west side of the island. Some of them dove ahead of the boat and came up aft of me. Could see them over the side rails as clearly as if they were in a tank.
Hi Kate and others,
As you know, Dottie and I have had the date locked into our calendar since
Kate first announced it and we still hope to make it. Only problem is that
after a laid-back and fun cruise to Penobscot Bay on Itchen, we had to fly
home to attend to languishing priorities. Now we are home and Itchen is
still in Yarmouth Maine on the Royal River. I’ve finally freed-up my
schedule and “Plan A” is to fly up tomorrow or Friday and, weather-willing,
bring her back down to the Chesapeake in time for the gathering.
Dottie probably can’t get free to join me - at least on the first leg - so
I’m looking for an additional crew member or two to help stand watches to
make it easier for me to do enough overnight jumps to make it to Vera’s by
Friday or Saturday. If I singlehand I’ll be too ragged-out to enjoy it. I
had a few possible volunteers but all had to back out because of their own
schedules. If anyone would like to join me for one or more or all legs, let
me know. 1. Friday or Saturday through Sunday or Monday from Yarmouth -
Cape Cod Canal to Hadley Harbor or Block Island (depending on weather &
departure timing). 2. Block Island to Cape May direct, or more likely
(depending on weather), Block Island - Long Island Sound - NYC - Cape May.
3. Cape May - Delaware Bay - C&D Canal - Annapolis - Vera’s! Several good
crew pick-up or drop-off spots along the way.
The big unknown at the moment is Ivan’s track & timing. If Ivan holds
together, speeds up and curves East, “Plan B” is to leave Itchen in Yarmouth
or somewhere en route, come to Vera’s by car and bring Itchen back home to
Solomon’s sometime in October. So put us down as somewhere between hopeful
and probable. Anyone want to help me deliver Itchen to the Patuxent?
Calypso BCC will be there by land,
hosted by Iduna (bless you!) We will join the dinner party as well.
Anyone coming with teenagers who might
like to earn a little money watching two small kids?
Cheers,
Nica and Jeremy
Calypso, BCC #6

Did you end up moving Itchen? If not and you are still looking for
crew please let me know. Depending on which legs of the trip you
need crew I might be able to help. I live in Boston and could travel
North to help you bring the boat south or meet you around the canal
and head south (block island, etc). I couldnt go all the way to MD,
but could maybe help along the way.
Note, my experience has been limited primarily to solo dinghy sailing
(Cape Cod Mercuries) on the Charles River in Boston over the last
couple of seasons. However, I have been reading as much as I can
(Navigation, Pardey books, etc) and I am a quick learner,
enthusiastic and hard working. Also, I LOVE the Lyle Hess boats
(especially the BCC)and hope to own one in the next 5-7 years (need
my company stock to rise…), so any opportunity to sail on one close
to Boston would be great.

Hello to all, and thanks to Oscar (with whom I will be in touch off-list to
discuss crewing possibilities).
Itchen is still in Yarmouth as the delivery schedule got too tight –
especially since a frontal passage this weekend seemed likely to force a
short layover en route. Wehad had such a nice time taking her up to Maine -
with stops along the way whenever we wanted to visit with old friends or
just poke around places new to us that we decided to do the same on the
cruise back home, at least part of the way.
So we will bring Itchen back in one or more legs, in October & maybe
November depending on how far we get on the first leg. Hope to see some of
you at the Lyle Hess rendezvous – we will come by car on Saturday.
Thanks for organizing a very enjoyable and informative
Lyle Hess Rendezvous. A great turnout, and but for
the event, I would never have known about Vera’s!
Unless one experiences the place, you wouldn’t even be
able to make it up!! As always, it was a pleasure to
see you and Bernie.
It might be useful if you would send to each attendee
the names and e-mail addresses of those who were in
attendance. I’m certain many would like to keep in
touch with fellow Hess owners.
Congratulations on a job well done.
