It's amusing that Harry has taken this sudden interest in large

confined to the Patuxent River. We were out in mid Chesapeake that
day having a fine time not far from our LT hero's home base.

Out in the mid bay having a fine time? Doing what? There's nothing out
in the mid bay.

Really? Are you sure?


I've been out in "mid Chesapeake" a zillion times, Wayne. There's a
couple of little islands directly across the bay from my house, adjacent
to "the other side. There's nothing between here and there but water,
buoys, and a few fishing spots. On most clear days, I can look across
and see the western side of the Eastern Shore.

Now, if you go south towards the lower Bay, there are some islands out
in the Bay a little ways. Been there, too. Maybe you are playing
geographic games and defining "mid Chesapeake" differently, but "mid
Chesapeake" to me means...the navigational channel.

Being out in the middle of the Bay driving a powerboat is...well, kinda
boring. On a nice windy day, though, being on a sailboat out there is
fun. Being on a floating winnebago like you drive...nah.
