Ocean City isn't really a good place for a big sailboat (I gather -
never having done that), and I thought they might be a little close to
shore to preclude being driven off course and into the beach, but the
wind will probably be offshore, and it isn't the Florida Keys or Cape
Hatteras so it will probably be OK.


I went in to Ocean City once and I regard it as being a bit difficult.

There is a charted reef to the south on the outside which requires a
wide turn before entering. The next challenge is an uncharted "S"
turn in the channel after the entrance, marked by buoys that are on
the small side. Finally there are strong currents in the harbor which
can make docking an interesting experience.

Definitely not a place you'd want to enter at night without a lot of
prior experience.
