It's a nice marina, and convenient, with a pair of well-maintained, deep
boat ramps. The guy who runs it is a very decent fellow. What's the
matter, herring...did you see a black guy there launching his boat...and
find that offensive to you?


It certainly looks like a tropical paradise on Google Earth. All it
needs is some palm trees, a white sand beach, coral reefs, trade
winds, etc., etc.

Why does the water have that, uhhh, "unusual" color ?


Don't zoom in too close, unless you've got a lot of tissue for cleaning the
lens.

There are some very nice marinas just north of Breezy Point, and also south at
Solomons Island. Herrington Harbor Marina has a great name and is a beautifully
maintained marina, about ten miles north of Breezy Point.

Of course, it's not a mud puddle, so it's a little more expensive than Breezy
Point. But, at least one would be in a nice mood coming or going.



Moron. Breezy Point is a fisherman's marina, mostly, It has maybe 100
slips and in season is home for several hundred trailer boats who keep
their boats there and even more who trailer their boats to the marina to
use the launch ramps.

It is not a "Herrington Harbor" marina, nor does it pretend to be.
It's just a relatively inexpensive place for guys to keep or launch
their fishing boats. I'd bet that 90%+ of the boats at BP or are
launched at BP are fishing boats.

Were you banned from BP, Herring? Mike does toss the occasional asshole
out of there...

Herring, btw, launches his boat a little south of the Blue Plains sewage
treatment plant...seems...fitting.
