[Rhodes22-list] Chesapeake gathering Memorial day ??

[jmorrison355 at comcast.net]

Rory,
Being a Chesapeake western shore resident/sailor, I admit to not being all that familiar as a Memorial Day Weekend visitor with your choice of proposed locations for a gathering. However, my limited experience on these national holidays is that the most popular destinations like Rock Hall & Dunn’s Cove get extremely crowded on these vacation weekends.  Therefore, I recommend the Tilghman Neck area as a good area – maybe even on the eastern side of Rich Neck where there’s a very good protected anchorage?  I’ve been there often & it’s quite nice … but not easily accessible by deep draft vessels – thus not likely to be all that crowded on Memorial Day.  Just an alternative suggestion.
