I've just started watching this series on DTour cable channel.
Quite surprising...boats are darn expensive down there too!

Just viewed the episode from near Annapolis MD.
If you're talking this episode:
"Big Boat on the Bay
Rob and Kim live in Annapolis, Maryland, and are searching for a luxury boat fit for their overnight
trips across the Chesapeake Bay. They enjoy the rich maritime history of the area while looking at
upscale boats with amazing cabins."
Keep in mind that the bay is only about six miles wide at that point. I suppose, if they're going
all the way to the other side of Kent Island they could turn it into a 15 mile trip, something my
wife and I would do in a 15' Boston Whaler!

Yes, but would you want to spend the weekend in St Michaels on your
Whaler? If you want to spend quality time on your boat it's important
to keep the wife happy.
We went to St. Michaels on the Whaler, but didn't spend the night. The ad for the show says,
'...trips across the bay'. We did use the Whaler for some overnighters, but we took along a tent and
sleeping bags...and a small BBQ.
