[Rhodes22-list] We have water!

[Mary Lou Troy]

Doug,
Deale to St. Michael's shouldn't be a bad run. It's a little shorter than 
you think because in the R22 you can cut across the bar without going all 
the way south to R2. We did that on our way home to Rock Hall last year. We 
were sort of mid tide and never saw less than 5' crossing in the area 
marked on the charts for 4.

I think St. Michael's is about the same distance from Deale as it is from 
Rock Hall which has been generally a 5 or 6 hour trip. Did you know that if 
you are a member of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum at the contributor 
level you can dock there for at rates considerably less than at the other 
marinas in town? (see http://www.cbmm.org/vi_dock_rates.html for details). 
We've done that few times. After the museum closes you have the grounds to 
yourselves - it's very nice.
