I grew up on the bay. We had a 23 wellcraft nova. Plenty of boat for most days. Among the places listed add hart miller island. Also Baltimores inner harbor is great. Stoney creek has nabbs creek cafe. Also places in rock creek and bodkin. A lot of waterfront eats and drinks in that area.


Also wind finder is a great app for wind. I use it for work and its very accurate.

This light is about a mile from where we live. If it's blowing more than 15kts from the south it gets pretty nautical out there. Otherwise, your boat would be fine. From that page you can also check bouys all up and down the Bay, very handy.

Wow! So many options. I'll have to start planning on the places to eat at and where all I want to go on the water. Ted, thank you for the link on all there is to know about the Chesapeake Bay.

Shoot me a message when you get out this way and I'd be glad to show you around a few places. We are out on our boat almost every weekend, in the warmer months of course (is it boating season yet? ). Welcome to Maryland and I'm sure you'll find the Bay a very nice place for boating.

Cool thank you there Brad.

Sandy Point State Park has awesome ramps....it's the last exit prior to the Bay Bridge....safe and very clean and protected...literally right around the corner from the Severn River and the Navy Academy.....I boat in northern bay, but when I run Mid Bay I launch there. Google it ..... If ya wanna run up north....feel free to message me....ahead of time, we usually know by Thursday night where everyone is heading for the weekend....low key group....with a variety of boats..... I run a 22 Classic Donzi and a 28 Pantera....
Good Luck....safe travels.

Dr. Dan, thank you for mentioning about the launch ramps. Nothing would be worse then to have a launch ramp be small for my boat. I wanted to mention there too the Donzi 22 Classic is a really cool looking boat. Same with your friends 28 Pantera. Again I would like to but have limited time off of work One of these times I will. Looking at Google maps you so many options on where to go which is really nice.

Ready for summer... This thread has me thinking about what and where I'm headed for the season opener

Anywhere...just wanna burn some fuel and let "Chillin The Most" stretch her legs....

I'm thinking about getting a few friends together, all meeting at Mikes South and head to Kenmorr to hang out a while when its time for season opener.... hahaha.. Can you tell summer has been on my mind a lot? lol
