    Their annual meeting in Baltimore is a less formal version of Trawlerfest
    open to cruisers under both power and sail. This year they are meeting at
    Anchorage Marina in Baltimore harbor from Sep 9 to Sep 11, 2003.

    Here is the agenda I was sent earlier this year:

    Welcome to the 3rd Annual Southbound Cruisers' Reunion held in Baltimore. The
    response has been great and we appreciate your participation.

    Anchorage Marina has graciously offered to host our reunion without
    additional
    costs. Please make sure the rules and regulations of the marina are followed.
    For those who are anchoring, shower and restroom facilities are available at
    the end of C/P Pier near the pool. Dinghy docking is permitted only on the
    outside of this pier. Do not tie-up in empty slips. Marina laundry facilities
    are available to slip holders.

    All events are scheduled for the C/P Pier near the pool
    The events will be moved to the Boater's Lounge in inclement weather
