[C320-list] Chesapeake Bay Cruising/sailing

[Artstree at aol.com]

I got my Capri 26 from the Annapolis area in 2005 and we hit a couple of places around the bay that were nice. 
Galesville just south of Annapolis and Thomas Point, and St. Michaels were two nice places to visit.

Great report. Where do you sail out of?
