Duane & Joanne,
Nice to see someone talking about a trip on the east coast.
We are anchored on the Chester River off the Chesapeake near Rock Hall, MD. Maybe we can meet you somewhere on the Bay. Lankford Bay Marina, where we are located, is a nice clean marina, family oriented with small pool and clean bathrooms and Doug says tell you they have GAS. We are located just an hour from the bay on Lankford Creek off of the Chester River. It is another hour up to Chestertown from there.
Nice quiet, scenic area.
Maybe if some other C-Dory people read this we can get more together in one meet.
We live near the Philadelphia airport if you have any trouble with the truck/trailer commute.

Columbia Island Marina is at N 38 52.398, W 77 02.945, which by land directions, is just north of the Pentagon, at the NW corner of the interesection of 395/295 and 1. Phone number is 202/347-0103. Ask for Renee Sanders, who is the manager. Columbia Island is one of the few D.C. area marinas which sell gas.
My limited experience is that most of the public marinas in the D.C. area are fairly cheap (say, $1.25/per foot, give or take), since they're all operated under license from the U.S. Forest or Park Service, or some such agency.
Highway traffic was one of our concerns, too. However, having trailered our boat back from Baltimore, and driven in this area a fair amount, we're convinced that traffic is a hastle all the way from well south of D.C., to Philadelphia, with only a few stretches that aren't tough. When we were planning our trip, we only considered driving the problem areas during "off peak" hours. Don't recall what those were, so you'll have to be creative. Really shouldn't be all that bad, since you can do the whole thing on major interstate (95, 495, 295 or 395), which might move slow, but has wider lanes than anything you'll find on city streets. _________________ 2003 CD22 Cruiser with Honda 90 |

Thanks to Charie, Pat, Alma's Only, and all the others that have contributed to my planning. There is another thread currently running in this forum, titled "Potomac River", discussing much of the same area. Perhaps we should move to that thread.
Also, it sounds as though there is enough interest to investigate a C-Dory gathering. Check out the Potomac River thread for a proposal.
Thanks again,
Duane, Joane, Mine, and Tiny aboard Plan B |
