PCA-CHS Tour & Rally 2023 Event No. 1 – April 15

PCA Chesapeake’s Tour & Rally Committee kicked off 2023 with its first event, the April 15 “Delmarva Tour” by tour master Aniano Arao. The route took 45 participants in 26 cars through some of the most delightful back roads of the Delmarva Peninsula, made up of the Eastern Shore portions of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia

This tour consisted of two stages, each with roughly two hours of driving. Stage 1 took us from Queenstown, MD, to Millsboro, DE – where we had lunch at the Clubhouse at Baywood, a Sodel Concepts restaurant. Stage 2 took some of us from our Delaware lunch venue, through southeastern Maryland, to Chincoteague, VA. We had most of the wonderful back roads to ourselves, which always means more enjoyment. The tour ended at Virginia’s Delmarva resort town, where some of us enjoyed some ice cream and where a few stayed overnight.

This year’s Stage 1 had been the entire “Delmarva Tour” in 2022.

In addition to offering wonderful food, the Clubhouse at Baywood offers plenty of space for parking.

After playing cat-and-mouse with the forecasts for two weeks, we had favorable weather on tour day.

Spring was definitely under way in the Delmarva Peninsula.

The only time it rained was while we were having lunch inside the restaurant. The rain was brief.

Loretta, Ron, Matt and Donna waited patiently for their food to arrive.

Of the 45 tour participants, 41 joined the lunch. We occupied half of the restaurant’s huge terrace.

By the time we got back to our cars, everything was dry outside, as though it had not rained at all.

After lunch, we had time for a photo shoot, arranged by Photography Chair Jim McKee.

We concluded the tour at the parking lot of Chincoteague High School.

We had our usual post-tour social in Chincoteague. Here we have John’s lovely 2019 911 GT3 Tour-

The most senior Porsche in the tour was Gregory and April’s 1986 911 Targa.
