V20 Rendevous 2006

[Franco]

Somebody proof read this, I dont have spell check on printshop

Franco that looks great, but I think you got to get a V20 in there and the Wellcraft name. Probably in place of the building. Great idea Cape to the Keys. Wish I'd thought of that ;D

[willy]

How about instead of two seperate maps in each corner do the U.S coastline across the shirt, Maine to Florida concept with a V20 and a pic of the boat. In the middle a star marking the VA. spot and the 1st Norton Snagger Fishing Tournament with the date. JMO, if I had your artistic skills thats where I'd head with it.

Franco, Willy

Way cool graphic ... my vote is for coastline
The light looks like Thomas Point Light, here off Annapolis.

I found a few llinks that the Norton Snagger Fish team ought to knw about BEFORE getting anything wet in June!

Franco...love it, Bro...iffn' I make the trip, I'd be my honor and pleasure ta arrive w/da Grand Poobah hisself!!... 8) ;D...

As usual, your graphics are GREAT!!...

And C-Bill, thanks for the VA fishin' regs...those who go need to know...$5 to fish up there sounds like a pretty good deal to me!!... ;) ;D...

[willy]

Either way would be good Franco, but I do think that the main pictoral emphasis should be on our beloved V's somehow if you can work that in with your Grand Poobah magic fingers ;D

[reelapeelin]

I thought I was seein' Cherrystone in the graphics!!...that lighthouse is probably THE best pic to use...if it were me, I'd drop the ''in between'' idea and highlight where it's gonna be...jmho ;)...

I knew I had seenthat light before! .....
(I was wrong thinking it was Thomas Point....
It says it was Choptank River Light - I was off by twenty five miles - Cjoptank River is SSE of Annapolis)

Go raed....

CHERRYSTONE BAR LIGHT

Lighthouse Name: Cherrystone Bar Light
Location: South of Cape Charles Harbor; nearest Town/City is Cape Charles, Virginia to mark the channel into the Eastern Shore port.
Date Built: 1858
Type of Structure: Cottage style hexagonal screwpile lighthouse
Characteristics: Fourth order Fresnel Lens, in 1888 a red sector of about 210 degrees of arc was placed in the light with red showing the bay.
Foghorn: Bell
Appropriation: Built for almost $10,000.00
Status: No longer standing

Historical Information:

* The light was attacked by Confederate forces during the Civil War and was reestablished in 1862 by Union forces.
* Deactivated in 1919 and replaced with the automatic acerlene lantern on a caisson.
* The original hexagonal lighthouse was taken off its screwpile, moved by barge (October 1920 – April 1921) becoming the Choptank River Light in Maryland (also known as Benoni Point Light), making it the only lighthouse to ever be moved to another site to be used as a working navigational aid.

Keepers: Gunter one of the few black men in lighthouse service.

The above was researched and drafted by Catherine (Kitty) Price, a Chesapeake Chapter of the U.S. Light House Society volunteer.
