Author	Topic:   Chesapeake Bay - Solomons Island Area
paul_boatforum	posted 08-30-2000 04:14 PM ET (US)         When I see the posts for other areas around the US I can't help but see what interest could be spured for BW owners in the Solomons Island area of the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland). I see many BWs in and around Solomons. Of course it might be best to look forward to next spring/summer. Just curious how may people in that area monitor this forum. Paul

paul_boatforum	posted 08-31-2000 10:15 PM ET (US)             Arch, I am curious, where is West River in relation to Solomons? I have kept fairly close to Solomons - from the Gas Docks and maybe down south past the mouth of the Patuxent a few miles and across to Hooper Island. Paul
Arch Autenreith	posted 08-31-2000 10:53 PM ET (US)             Paul. The West River is on the Western shore about 1/2 driving time South of Annapolis. I know it's North of Solomons but I'm not sure how far. We've sailed down there a couple times over the years but it's been about 10 years since we were there last. There sure are a lot of Whalers down there also aren't there?! Arch
paul_boatforum	posted 09-01-2000 12:07 AM ET (US)             Oh, ok. I see where West River is on the chart. I love those online charts at boatscape.com! Yes, there does seem to be many whalers in the Solomons area. As I tool around Back Creek and Mill Creek I see many 13', 15', and 17' whalers. Now that I have a small whaler I am more curious and drift by them to take a peak!

blackdog	posted 09-27-2000 11:08 AM ET (US)             IS ther camp sites or places to put up for the night. We live in southern NJ and would like to take a couple of trips next year. Are any places dog friendly
tbirdsey	posted 09-27-2000 01:09 PM ET (US)             Hey, this looks closer to Albany than the 10 hour drive to Tobermory for the N/C rendezvous. Used to get to DC in 6-7 hours w/o boat. We might be interested.
bigz	posted 09-27-2000 01:30 PM ET (US)          Tom -- used to take me about 3 hours from central NJ to Albany and from central NJ to the northern Chesapeake maybe 3 hours --- Albany down is pretty much a straight turnpike route till you reach 295 into Delaware --- something to think about over the long winter months to come --- Tom
