In a cipher block chain, each block is XORed with the ciphertext of the previous block, not the plaintext. So even if you cannot decipher one block, as long as you have received the complete block intact and correct, you can still use it to decipher the next one.
So, if your receiver doesn't have the Initialization Vector, they will be unable to decipher the first block they receive. But as long as they receive the first block, they will still successfully decipher the second (and each successive) block.

When decrypting a message in CBC mode, each ciphertext block ci is decrypted with the chosen key, and then XORed with the previous ciphertext block ci-1.
Since for c1, there is c0, we use the IV instead. So if the receiver knows the ciphertext and the key used to encrypt it, but not the IV, they can decrypt everything apart from the first block.
EDIT: beaten to it by 20 seconds...
