Deltaville ... Reedville,

I found Deltaville and Reedville problematic to get to by sailboat. I reached
Reedville by car twice and to be truthfull, DeSmet SD is more interesting. At
least DeSmet has a cafe to eat breakfast in.

We've been to Reedville and also anchored in the Great Wicomico about
5 or 6 times. Not problematic at all. People with a boat with a
draft of 8 feet can anchor here. It's one of our favorite places to
go. The only problem is to figure out which way the wind is blowing
so as to be upwind of the menhaden plant. We usually eat breakfast on
the boat. If you have a car, you can drive to someplace to have
breakfast like DeSmet (which I've never heard of). I find the old
Victorian houses in Reedville quite interesting, and I love strolling
along the street and looking at them. I also like visiting the
museum. Possibly I'm more easily amused than you are. Also it is a
good place for seafood.

Deltaville is also NOT a problem by sailboat. Been to Broad Creek
twice, Jackson Creek once, and anchored in Fishing Bay and near Gwynns
Island. Many sailboats of all kinds are there. Even if Broad Creek
is a problem for you, Jackson Creek and Fishing Bay should be fine. I
find the town itself less interesting and less accessible for the boat
person than Reedville (although they do have places that serve
breakfast and I did not get to their museum), but the marinas are
nice, and anchoring is easy and protected. It's a good place to leave
a boat for a period of time or to lay it up for the winter.
