Our first Cheoy Lee Rendezvous started off on Friday the 12th of
March 2004. Four 36 clippers and a Pedrick 36 showed up that evening and
we learned that the police weren't inclined to let us anchor where we wanted
to. So Mike and Eddy on Mystic (Pedrick 36) stayed at Glorietta in the
designated anchorage and the rest of us took off for La Playa Cove. That
night we had 4 clippers and a Frisco Flyer in the La Playa anchorage. Three
of the Clippers (Sunset, Begorra, and Flying Cloud) rafted together and
John and Theresa on Morning Star anchored separate. Everyone eventually
gathered on Pat's boat (Begorra) and had a few glasses of wine before turning
in for the night. The next morning some of us sailed back down the bay
to Glorietta to pick up any straglers, it was a glorious sail as the wind
was up around 15 knots. Flying Cloud and Begorra rafted with Mystic for
lunch then we all headed out for the sail back up the bay to La Playa.
Of course, it was another awesome sail since the wind was still blowing
nicely. Once we all got ourselves situated in the anchorage we headed over
the Southwestern Yacht Club for dinner, raffles, and prize giveaways. The
hot item for the evening was the Cheoy Lee Association Burgees that were
donated by James. We had a nice dinner and then did the giveaway raffle,
which everyone went away with something from that one. Then it was on to
the bigger items. In the end we raised $200 to donate to the Maritime Muesem.
As far as I know everyone had a great time visiting with other owners and
checking out each others boats. We shouldn't have much trouble getting
an even bigger group together next time around.
