DaveM: Take it from me... its NOT worth it. I went out yesterday. Left Aquia Creek and headed to Tim's. Got in the main river and didn't see a thing. I thought man this is perfect. Left Tim's headed for Gilligans. No sooner did I get on plane I found myself in a MASSIVE float of logs, debris, lumber, boxes, shelves, you name it. Took me 30 minutes to idle to the MD side. At that time I had to get in the water, defoul both drives, and made it to Gilligans. On the way home ran into another HUGE float in front of Aquia. This one had some trees 24"-36" around, large logs, etc. Same story again. The rivers passable, but no fun.

Check out this satellite photo of the bay and the Potomac river. This is whats headed our way.
Click on the map and enlarge it and look at the Potomac river, its just getting down around Fairview now. For the bay its almost down to Solomons Island. Not Good!!
