Who here has sailed with Chesapeake Shorthanded Sailing Society (CHESSS)?
I am flirting with the idea of moving away from the bay area and maybe relocating to a house on the Chesapeake in Maryland. Covid taught me a lot about I want for my wife and I. Things here are getting a little more difficult and costly. A path to downsizing from my house for another is too competitive, poor in choices, lifestyles very costly and now that they are building so much high-rises in Alameda and removing my much loved waterfront, our sailing ground are changing for the worse. I do know many people make it work and drive a distance to have a boat on the bay but that wouldn't work me. I would sure miss sailing here in the SF bay but there are other places where a working guy from the Bay area who must still work but not kill himself can have almost all - a house, sailboat, fair dock access close by, cruising and racing grounds and a nice community to belong.
Can someone here tell me a little of what the organization is like, what kind of boats are sailed and the people involved?

Without friends, none of this would be possible.
