Time to Sign Up for the Largest Rally From the U.S. to the Caribbean

It’s also the most fun! The Fall Rally opens the door to new friends and experiences while cruising the Caribbean. It departs from the Chesapeake Bay on November 2 (weather permitting) after a week of preparation and fun!



Where will you head this fall? The Fall Rally to the Caribbean gives you a choice of destinations. Will you point the bow to beautiful Falmouth Harbour, Antigua? Or will you make landfall in gorgeous Harbour Island, Eleuthera in the Bahamas? Some other gorgeous Caribbean island? The choice is yours and either way, paradise awaits.

 

With Covid-19 concerns our social activities may be limited. We expect we’ll be conducting webinars in lieu of in-person seminars, and Zoom Meetings in lieu of in-person general meetings and Q&A sessions.
