The
18th Annual Alberg 37 Fall Rendezvous was held at the Assenmacher dock
near
Kinsale
,
VA
on Saturday/Sunday,
October 9-10, 2010
. The
event really began a bit earlier with the arrival of MISCHIEF (Kip and Linda
Newbould's 1970 MK-I Yawl) on Wednesday before the Rendezvous.
Of course, Tom and Kaye Assenmacher's 1975 MK-II Yawl SHEARWATER
was already at her home berth at their dock.
Then HERON (Rob and Julie Lee's 1981 MK-II Yawl) arrived on Friday
afternoon. Also arriving (drive-ins)
were Henk DeVries of Cobourg, ON (PAWBEE); Wayne and Sherrill Bower of
Bowie, MD (TEELOK); Lou and Jean Wayne of Rochester, NY (PIKA); Mark
and Debbie Crowe of Toronto, ON (SEA CYCLE - Currently on the hard in
Panama); Ian Dunn and friend Jennifer of Milford, CT (VECTIS); and Catherine
Bennett of Lancaster, VA (TWO TARS). Others
attending the Rendezvous were friends/neighbors/A-37 Wannabees: Della Noone
of Toronto; Sandy Romer of Welland, ON; Becky and Jerry Knop of
Reisterstown, MD; Don and Judy Polifka of Kinsale, VA; Hubert and Pam
Sears of Jacksonville, FL; Geoff Cunliffe of Mississauga, ON (former
owner of the 1979 MK-II Sloop THE EVERDEN); Carol and Richard Hackett of
Solomons, MD; Ralph and
Sally Sell of Richmond, VA anchored off the dock in their Pearson 35
SANDPIPER.
Those
arriving on Friday enjoyed a pot luck dinner on Friday evening along with a lot
of 'sea stories', renewed acquaintances and a good time was had by all!
Saturday dawned with perfect Rendezvous weather - sunny with crisp early
fall temperatures. Saturday's events
included 'crab picking' where a bushel and a half steamed local Chesapeake Bay
Blue Crabs were consumed. Later on
Saturday, a hot dog and hamburger BBQ was held, along with Becky's (Knop) famous
Crab Soup!
Sunday's
weather was a repeat of Saturday's, and most folks left by late Sunday, although
a few stayed over until Monday. A
great time was had by all!!
