[C320-list] Upper Chesapeake Marinas

[Allan S Field]

We love to cruise to Galesville and the West River but what keeps us from
berthing there, even though it's closer to home, is the long trek out to the
Bay plus not as convenient for Oxford and everything else up the Choptank
River for out and back in a weekend, unless going through Knapps Narrows
which we haven't done in a few years due to really bad sholing.

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.
