"NVB" and this site were founded in October, 2000 as a means for providing those who love boating the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay a forum for keeping in touch and knowing what is going on. There are NO DUES and the only cost our members have ever seen is associated with buying a burgee! We don't hype t-shirt, coozie or sales of group merchandise!

What we do however is enjoy our time on the water together and meeting new members. Each year we host our "Season Kickoff" at Tim's, the "SwimPlatform Picnic," on the water, a "Dock Crawl" at Hoffmaster's with live entertainment and much more. Cost? Nothing to our members!

We have a core group that is active and encourage new members to come up with ideas for the group to do. NVB is also springs to action when needed on a local level such as when Fairfax County was going to cease funding their marine patrol and we helped keep them on the water.

Remember...the more who are active within the group the more we will all have to do!
