[C320-list] Middle River MD

[hcreech at comcast.net]

Tony, 
Depending on wind speed and direction of course, using the 5 knt. average rule, 7 hours to Annapolis. Havre De Grace 4-5 hours. Annapolis very expensive but worth the trip. Only thing really bad about HDG is the long channel you have to motor up and down. I don't believe any time I have gone there was I able to sail that channel, the channel alone takes about 45 minutes. If you want to go to a cool place go to Worton Creek, about 3 housrs from mouth of Middle River, not much to do but decent and they have a good, but expensive restaurant. You might also consider Rock Hall, about 4 hours, plenty to do lots of restaurants, or St. Michaels, about 7 hours and interesting trip through the Kent Narrows, like Rock Hall lots to do plenty of restaurants, like Annapolis expensive.. Let me know if you need any more info. 

Herb

Warren / Herb 

Thanks for the info. this sounds like what we were looking for. 

Depending on weather and the wind gods I am thinking we will be in Middle River Wed afternoon. planning on stopping over on the way back from Havre De Grace. Any way plans may chnage depending on what happens with whats left of Issac. 

Any idea how long does it take to get to Annapolis and Have De Grace from Middle River. 

If you guys are around stop over for a refreshment. 

Thanks 

Tony

There are 3 C320s at Maryland Marina, including ours in slip 725. It's a 
reat marina and the restaurant is especially popular with the locals (incl. 
ower boaters.) Sailboats are separated from power boats on separate piers 
o the engine noise is not usually a problem. There is no pool; but, 
therwise, it is a nice, friendly place. And they have a well run and fully 
tocked marine store. The manager, Martin, is among the most knowledgeable 
oat guys you'll find and he is not tight with his knowledge. The office 
oes not monitor VHF so call them on 410-335-8736. 
Before you get to Maryland Marina, there is Long Beach Marina, No. side of 
reek across from the Martin State Airport. They do have a pool and fuel. 
here are some others but not all take transients. Check reviews on
