We are based in Annapolis and love the Chesapeake. You'll have no end of
fascinating possibilities and we recommend it highly. Over the last 20 years
we owned a GB46 for 4 years and a new GB46 for 16 years. We sold it last
June as we took delivery of a new Selene 53 which we have moved onto and are
extensively cruising....

We have cruised through LI Sound per se a dozen times. Isn't quite far
enough. For just another hundred miles you can include Nantucket, Marthas
Vineyard, Buzzards Bay, Chatham, Cape Cod Bay. Think about it.

Also, not knowing the cost of trucking that EB43 up ( and back), it might be
cheaper to have someone run it up there. I assume the decision not to do it
yourself has something to do with time constraints. I hold a 100 ton USCG
Masters license and might enjoy taking a trip for you if you're interested.
I am not a captain for hire, although am licensed to be, I just love boating
and would enjoy the experience on an Eastbay.

I am weighing whether to take boat (Eastbay 43) by truck from near Ft.
Lauderdale to either Chesapeake Bay or to Long Island Sound for
extended summer cruise. Some of my considerations: (1) crowdedness in
good anchorages and in marinas; (2) hurricane damage repair (markers,
changes in depths not newly charted) in Chespeake Bay; (3) relative
merits (not a provacative question!).
