Here's some information on coming in. It's really pretty simple and safe as long as you pay attention to the green markers once you get in. You really DO want to be between them and the shoreline. I have not heard of anything less than 6' all the way in.
If you're nervous, give us a couple of blasts on the horn as you come around the corner. We'll hail you on VHF channel 69 to coach you in. We'll try to have a boat or two monitoring 69 at all times, but there's no guarantee.

My cellphone is pretty worthless in Still Pond, plus I'll be away from it most of the time. I can get text messages reasonably well, if not always on time: (610) 404-4963.

Thanks, I will keep the green to port and shore to my right. 6' is plenty. Trying to decide if I want to stay at Fairlee Creek or Annapolis Friday night. Wife wants a nice place to eat.

Bridges on the south end of Kent Narrows (between Fisherman's Crab Deck and The Jetty) is simply awesome. Very nice slips as well. If you want to try someplace closer to Still Pond, go past Still Pond and up the Sassafras River to Georgetown. The upstairs room at The Granary is first-rate.

Right on the money, but the marker numbers have changed for 2010, so don't let them throw you off!

Thanks, Tim.

Thanks Tread that really helps. My chart is not as clean as this. I am sure my E120 will be fine. It's been years since I have gone to Georgetown, how far up the river is it @ 20kts. We will be on the hook for about 5 days or until we run out of water (showers) or kill one another.

Thank you to all 21 boats that turned out, and the 11 that stayed the night. A great time in great weather. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

Thanks for being the catalyst for a great day Chuck! The weatehr was great and we met some great people, wish we could have stayed, but the Bay was perfect all the way home.
