Present tense
Hello,
please could you tell me if the use of present tense in the sentence below is correct. Could we also use present perfect 'have spent' in this context? Thank you.
This summer is the ninth in succession that I spend in Chesapeke Bay.

The sentence sounds wrong. I would use 'have spent' (if they've already arrived for the summer), or alternatively 'will spend' (if they haven't arrived yet).
