[C320-list] Upper Chesapeake Marinas

[Scott Thompson]

Herrington South is nice but my impression is that you have to sail for 
a good distance to get anywhere else of interest from there. I'm sure 
others will correct that impression if I'm wrong, as there are several 
320s there, including Alan Field, who frequents this list. On the 
Western shore I would look closely at Galesville MD on the West River 
where there are several nice marinas and restaurants, and great places 
to hang on the anchor just minutes away. Plus its quite close to 
Annapolis should you want to go there. Solomons Island is also very nice 
with many marinas, but is perhaps too far south for exploring the middle 
part of the Bay.
