Jere, what a wonderful informative post. Thanks.

BTW, is Queenstown a place we can overnight on the same trip as
Annapolis and Baltimore?

I am upgrading my batteries and might be able to overnight with my sleep
apnea machine running at least most of the night (especially if we forgo
our refrigerator).

There's no marina that I know of, but it is right across from
Baltimore.

I anchored off Reedville last Sunday, upwind of the still operating
plant.

The only problem is to figure out which way the wind is blowing
so as to be upwind of the menhaden plant.

when I was there by car two years ago the plant seemed to be
abandoned.

We were there in August and we went past it last week and it is
definitely operating. There used to be about 14 plants there, but
there is only one left, so some of what you see WILL be abandoned.
There are 14 boats operating out of the Omega Protein plant across
from Reedville in Tibitha near Fleeton which is across the creek
from
Reedville (less than a mile by car)

you can drive to someplace to have
breakfast

when I drove there, the only place to get something to eat was at
the gas
station, or the tablecloth restaurant that closed at 8:00 at night.
We were
able to buy candy bars from a box in the lobby of the motel we
stayed in.

There are two regular restaurants in Reedville. The Crazy Crab
restaurant is open mid -May to mid-December, Tuesday to Sunday 11:30
am to 9:00 pm, closed Monday.

And Tommy's (used to be Elijahs) They serve dinner from 5:30
Wednesday
through Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.

So admittedly, there's no place to eat on Monday.

There's also the Cockrell's Creek Seafood Deli which is open Monday
through Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Sundays 11:00 to 3:00 (eat in
or
take out) and Chitterchats Gossip Parlor which has ice cream.

There are two bed and breakfasts in town that serve breakfast to
their
guests.

But what I meant was that you could drive to another town in a CAR.

For instance Fairport (on the west side of the creek) has a marina
with an onsite restaurant. It's about two miles by car and shorter
by
boat. You could even do it on a bicycle. The restaurant features
soft crab - crabcakes, hamburgers and chicken sandwiches. Hours of
Operation: Wednesday to Friday 9 Am-10 Pm and Saturday to Tuesday 9
Am-5 Pm

And there is ROSIE LEE'S: Casual family dining. Fresh seafoods,
meats,
homemade soups, daily specials, salad bar, prime rib. Open 7 days B,
L, D). Route 360, Burgess which is only about 5 miles from Reedville

like DeSmet (which I've never heard of).

Laura Ingalls Wilder once lived there. The town has two trees, one
of which
they built a park around.

The only reference to De Smet that I can find in relation to Laura
Ingalls Wilder is in South Dakota. I can find no De Smet in
Virginia.
I can believe that De Smet SD might have only 2 trees, but I think
it
is a pretty far piece to go for breakfast from Reedville.

Have you ever been in Smith Creek, off the Potomac? Beautiful spot,
confusing lights at night for the first time coming in.

Deltaville ... Reedville,

I found Deltaville and Reedville problematic to get to by
sailboat.

Places that ARE problematic - Smith Island (my husband was on a DNR
boat (a power boat) which ran aground in the channel there), Salt
Ponds, Windmill Point, Washington DC (due to bridge restrictions),
Queenstown and my BILs dock in Bodkin Creek (local knowledge needed
in
the latter two cases). Deltaville and Reedville are not in that
group.

My wife has a sleep apnea machine and hers says on the label that it
uses .4 (4/10) amps at 12 volts and has a 12 adapter. It doesn't add
up to many amp hours for a night's sleep.
Mark E. Williams

Maynard, thanks for the data. I didn't see a similar plate on my machine.

Most machines sold nowadays include heated humidification -- even some
insurance companies now admit heated humidification improves compliance
and reduces side effects. It is the draw of the heated humidifier that
concerns me.

If I try dropping a hook. I will probably try using my humidifier as a
passover type (no heat) to save on the amps. But only if I have to.

I'd have to go through the Woodrow Wilson Bridge first. Our mast is
58.5 feet. I'm not about to be mucking around in the Potomac at 3 am
just to go to a marina (and then have to come back down later) when I
can just drive to DC in about an hour.

Certainly, driving most anywhere is faster.

But I do not know your source on the WW bridge info.
It opened today at noon. The only times I have ever
experienced it have been daylight hours.

I understand your reasoning, regardless.
But since usenet is an archive of information
I wanted this specific issue corrected.

I think they only open it --other than during the wee hours --for commercial
traffic, and if you are there, you can scoot on thru. So I've been told.

My wife's machine is a c-pap without heated humidification so I didn't
think of that. I was just thinking about the fan draw.

You might look in your machine's documentation or check out their
website if they have one. You should be able to find out how many 12
volt amps your equipment (fan and heated humidification) draws.
At least then you would know for sure if you are going to have a
problem.

Bob says he thinks he remembers that there's a free dock in Queenstown
that one can use for a couple of hours. We've never gotten in there
so I don't know for sure, and I also don't know if there is
electricity.
