June 26 & June 27, 2010 - Virginia Cape Cruises
by Joyce Holland
You will have the opportunity to take either and/or both of these cruises. These are our most popular lighthouse cruises and should fill up very fast. Also, plan to arrive a day early and climb both the Old and New Cape Henry towers on Friday at 10:00 am. After lunch on your own, we are planning to gather at the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Yorktown, Virginia for a tour of their Fresnel Lens Museum.

On Saturday, June 26th, our cruise will begin from the Virginia Beach Fishing Center, Rudee Inlet, with Capt. “Skip” Feller. We will cruise along the Virginia Beach shoreline, passing the Cape Henry lighthouses, then head North up the Chesapeake Bay to our first destination, Wolf Trap Lighthouse, where we will turn South and cruise and view New Point Comfort (where we will go in as close as the weather and tides will permit,) Thimble Shoal, Old Point Comfort, and Middle Ground Lighthouses. This will be an all day cruise (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) with a box lunch, snacks and drinks provided aboard our vessel. The cost for this trip to our members is $135.00 per person, and for non-members is $145.00 per person. If you are interested in taking this cruise, please complete the registration form and send your full payment as soon as possible.

On Sunday, June 27th, we will again disembark from Rudee Inlet, in Virginia Beach at 8:00 am and will again cruise past the Cape Henry lighthouses, over to the Cape Charles lighthouse (where we will go in as close as the weather and tides will permit) and finally the Chesapeake Light Tower. A box lunch will be provided during this cruise. We plan to return to Rudee Inlet around 2:00 pm to give you ample time to return home. The cost of this trip is $125.00 for members and $135.00 for non-members. If you are interested in signing up for this cruise, please complete the registration form and send your full payment as soon as possible.
