We are making plans for our July cruise. The discussion taking place in the “Navigating the Chesapeake†thread has me thinking about heading south this summer. Unfortunately we will not be able join those of you going to Baltimore at the end of July because of family commitments. Most likely we will leave Connecticut just after the 4th of July and spend about 2 weeks; we just have to be home on the 20th.
Among the places we want to hit along the way are: Long Beach Island, Cape May, Atlantic City, Baltimore, and Annapolis. We’ll also give Still Pond a try and are looking for other ideas and recommendations. It might be fun to take the boat up the Potomac to DC, any advice here would be appreciated. What are the other not-to-be-missed spots in the Chesapeake that we should we consider? We could spend a couple of nights at anchor, but usually prefer to be in a marina. We like to be near good restaurants, beaches and pools and half of us enjoy shopping. We are open to just about any ideas at this point.
We cruise at 25 knots in open water and usually like to travel no more than 6 hours in a day. I realize that it’s slow going through the canals and the ride from Cape May to BIH may take longer – that’s OK as long as the destination is worth it and we don’t string together too many long days in a row.
Thanks for your advice.
