Brother, sister in law and nephew of past NNSA commodore, Dick McCrillis circumnavigation of the eastern United States from Canada, the Mississippi to Key West.

Our Commodore, John Bouma, departed Norfolk Naval Sailing  Center November 8th, 2016, aboard "3/4 Time"  his 51 foot Little Harbor sailboat. At  11:30,  29 April, 2018, John completed his circumnavigation  returning to the Norfolk Naval Station, after a year  and a half (537 days) and traveling 27,102 miles.  

 Mark and Cheryl Merrick cruised  their former trawler "Quality Time" to the Florida Keys and around the Gulf Coast over the 2016-17 winter.  Read about their great adventures down  the ICW and points south. 

Every Fall, Tim Dull spends a month cruising  the Chesapeake Bay. Read his blogs about marinas, anchorages,  sightseeing and great places to eat right here in our backyard of the  Chesapeake Bay 

One Day Away destinations are contributions from various NNSA members

Attached is a  Word.doc version of our day cruise plan / nav brief worksheet.  It is  what we’ve used for the past couple of years to “plan my flight, fly my  plan”.  It is  done the night before to pre-plan or pre-brief the expected  next days sailing conditions and environmental expectations. The  form is a fill-in the blank format.  All straight forward stuff.  This  format is very Chesapeake Bay specific.
