[C320-list] Chesapeake Bay

[Chris Burti]

There are a lot of choice spots that don't get a lot
of press. 

Three that quickly come to mind.

Vera's on St. Leonards Creek, off the Patuxant River.
Quaint eccentric restaraunt. Getting there with a stop
at Solomons is a super trip with gorgeous scenery.

Onancock on the Virginia Eastern shore. Only thing
open at dawn was the bakery...coffee and fresh baked
goods with the friendly locals...unforgettable.

Urbanna off the Rappahannock, several good waterfront
restaraunts great cruising.

The worst thing you can do on the Chessapeake is to
follow your nose...you'll end up spending the rest of
your life visiting fascinting, beautiful places and
meeting interesting, friendly and charming people. 

Watch your depth, I can't keep any paint on the keel
there or here in NC.

Best times are before June and after Labor day.
