There are beaches, including some quite nice ones, from BP down to the
Solomons, and there's some darn fine beaches further down on this side
of the Bay and on the other side, too. You have to go out farther than
the buoys in the bay near where you keep your boat.

We just have different views on what constitutes a nice beach, Harry. Yes,
North Beach, Ches. Beach, even Calvert Cliffs have 'beaches', in which one
can swim in dirty water. If you enjoy swimming in the Chesapeake, go for
it.

But, one does not have to enjoy swimming in the local water to enjoy
boating in the local area, which is what you couldn't seem to understand.
