Harry,
Why don't you pick him up in your Lobster Boat and give him a tour of the
area?

We expect to be in Chesapeake Bay for 2 or 3 weeks starting mid-October
or thereabouts. Other than obvious choices like Annapolis and Solomons
Island, I'm looking for good places to hang out during the week.
Priorities are something like this:

1. Good WiFi service.

2. Good storm protection.

3. Room to anchor, and/or moorings with launch service.

4. Availability of groceries, laundromats, restaurants, etc.

On weekends priorities change with WiFi becoming less important, and
more oriented towards interesting places to be. All suggestions
gratefully appreciated...



Wayne, you might enjoy a day or two in Deale, Maryland, on the western
shore about halfway between Solomons and Annapolis. It has one pretty
decent restaurant (calypso Bay) right on the water and a couple of so-so
restaurants, and it is a pretty little boating area, but there's not a lot
to do there. Herrington Harbour marina is your best bet...it's a full
yacht yard, with a west marine store.

St. Micheals up the Miles River on the eastern shore is pretty
nice...couple decent marinas, some nice places to eat, quaint town to walk
around, historical waterman's island, etc. In fact, the eastern shore has
far more interesting stopping off places than our side, aside from
Annapolis and Solomons.

One tip: chesapeake beach has a small harbor and marina, with a really
lousy restaurant (rod and reel), but...there is a first-rate local
supermarket there in a little shopping center right across from the
marina. Good meat and vegetable and staples, the only supermarket I can
think of offhand within a short walk to where you might rent a slip.

If you need to get around a bit on land for a day, lemme know. I'll be
glad to meet you at Solomons, Deale, or Chesapeake Beach. Looks like I'll
be out of town starting late next week for about 10 days or so, but after
that I'm back.
