Photos from the 5th Annual CP Chesapeake Rendezvous!

Photos from the 5th Annual ClassicParker Chesapeake Rendezvous.

The weather could not have been better, and after 5 years, I finally found the perfect spot.
Lots of room at the end of a quiet creek, and no waves or boat wakes from skiers or tubers! 8)

Here we are at the dock getting ready to leave.





First to arrive was Ben and Debbie in Keeping it Reel







Next up is Parkerman in his sweet classic 2110.





And then Wayne and Meridiths local (Cape St Claire) friend Scott in his wide body Grady 232.
See? We don't discriminate against lesser fishing vessels.



Member C.E. Blizzard in his super sanitary 23SE fishing machine.





And finally, CP member and former Parker owner J.A. Veil in his 'creek stalker' Scout.



Finally... some random fishing and relaxation photos of our day on the Bay!













Hope to see you all again next year!
Save the date! The 6th Annual Chesapeake Rendezvous will be the 2nd Saturday in August of 2011! 8)

Capt. Kevin,
My Wife, my Daughter, and Myself had a great time Saturday. It was well worth coming up from Eden, Md. to meet up with everyone. Afterwards we took a cruise over through ego alley. That was one busy harbor. From there we cruised on across the Bay to Kentmorr Marina and Restaurant. Had an excellent meal with a wonderful view of the bay. Then we made the final cruise around Kent Island and up Eastern Bay to Kent Narrows to where we launched from. Had a great day, with great people, on a great Parker boat.

Charlie,

I have to tell you... The first couple of years that I lived here, I would not attempt Ego Alley in the summertime.
Too many boats going in different directions in a confined space to suit me! :shock:

As time went on, I figured... what's the worst that can happen?
Well... sitting outside at Pussers one night, I saw the worst that can happen.
A 48 SeaRay came in there and played bumper-boats with about a dozen other people before the skipper got her docked (and docked her hard!).

I go in there now in summer when we have guests, but I'm always tight at the helm and always watching...
That is a crazy piece of water right there! :shock:

Kentmorr is a great place to eat and I'm glad that you and your family had a good day at the rendezvous, and later on your excursion through the area.
Hope you got into those Spaniards down south today. I hope to do the same soon. :wink:

Well once again the Gerhard family had a great time! This is now part of our summer schedule. For those of you who are in the area (which we are not) you really need to join us. It is such a nice relaxing low key day. I can't think of a better way to spend a day than floating on my Parker and looking at others. It was great catching up with you all.

Thanks to Kevin & Mary Jo.... Again for another year. Had to give the flag up to you both for what you do for the PARKER family. Again thanks to both of you and see you soon. Ben & Deb McCauley

You will see that flag flying proudly next year (if not sooner)!
Thanks!

Looks like a blast. I was just out in front of the creek fishing about 3-4 miles south of the Bay Bridge saturday morning. My plan was to head over around lunch time after 5-6 hours of fishing but I unfortunately left the gathering information at my house so I wasn't sure where it was being held. Given my inexperience with the boat, I wasn't quite on board to do any exploring.

Parkerman, I love that 2110. Send me some details on it if you would. I have a 1991 myself and I've looked and looked - but can't find any documentation on that particular model. I am in the process of redoing a lot of things on the boat so finding as much stock data on it is very useful.

One more from Ben and Debbie. 8)

I had planned on being there...but...ended up flying to San Antonio that Sunday for a business trip. Friday and Saturday leading up to my departure got too hectic to bring the boat up from Solomons. First year I've missed this great event. Next year's event is already on my calendar.

Next year Dave.
We did miss you tho. :wink:

We need to get Hannibal into the mix too.
Two 2110's would be cool.

I've already marked it down for next year. She's nothing to show off quite yet as I am in the process of overhauling her. The hardtop is on though which turned out great IMO. Over the winter, she'll get new trim/wood all around - that will really set this boat off nicely and then she'll be ready for some glamor shots. :lol:

Now I just have to find the right name for her.

Great photos as usual
