Join us for a casual evening sail to catch the full moon out on the water.
The plan is to head out around sunset (please check circle for a message from the skippers about a specific time to meet!), sail through dusk, and be on the water as the moon rises. Depending on conditions, we’ll keep things flexible—maybe a relaxed cruise, maybe a bit more hands-on sailing if people are interested. Everyone is welcome to participate as much or as little as they’d like, whether that’s helping out with the boat or just settling in and taking it all in.
Learning Objectives: practice night navigation, recognizing other vessels lights and using lighted markers, docking at night.
Skipper(s) will contact participants via Circle to communicate the actual dock-call time and cruising logistics.
Crew sign-ups may be admitted from the waitlist if additional skippers register for the event and we’re able to add another boat.
Weather cancellations will be announced by 11 AM on the day of the event.

General Overview
Experience one of the Chesapeake Bay's favorite fall traditions with an overnight cruise to the charming waterfront town of Rock Hall for its annual Fall Fest. We'll sail across the Bay to Maryland's Eastern Shore, spend the night in one of Rock Hall's welcoming marinas, and enjoy a day exploring a festival that celebrates the town's rich watermen's heritage with fresh oysters, local seafood, live music, and artisan vendors.
For additional information about Fall Fest please refer to https://rockhallfallfest.org/program/ or https://www.facebook.com/rockhallfallfest/. Fall Fest is from 10am - 4pm, so with a four hour cruise to reach Rock Hall, please note we plan to leave the DSC docks early and promptly on Saturday morning.
