oops Re: [Rhodes22-list] Chesapeake - Eastern Bay

[Mary Lou Troy]

Here I am answering my own email. How the heck did I confuse Eastern Bay 
and the Choptank? They're about the same shape on the chart but that's no 
excuse.

Peter, on Sunday we are headed from Galesville to the Choptank through 
Knapps Narrows so our paths may still cross. Does your Starwind have a 
name? We'll keep a lookout.

As far as Eastern Bay is concerned most of our exploring in that area has 
been on the Miles. I can highly recommend the creeks on East branch of the 
Wye River as nice anchorages. We really like Granary Creek where you can go 
ashore in the Wye Island Natural Resources Management Area. I highly 
recommend St. Michaels if you've never been there. If you have, you might 
want to postpone a return visit to non-holiday weekend. Leeds Creek across 
from St. Michaels has some nice anchorages as well. We have friends who 
have anchored in Tilghman Creek and have nice things to say about it but 
it's on our list - we've never been there.

In any even have a great weekend.

Mary Lou
