I suppose this topic is probably well-handled by Frank ImpulseIII (an ex-NJ boater) but anyone with info feel free to chime in.
What's boating like on the Sassafras? i've done a bit of mapping and marina.com-ing but it's hard to get a sense of where things are without the charts, road maps and a cruising guide (mine STARTS at the C&D canal and heads down to lewes then up to NJ coastline).
It seems that the marinas are concentrated in the Georgetown area, which necessitates a 7 mile(?) run out to the bay. Is that a no-wake zone all the way out? I had a boat at Bowleys Quarters in Middle River in the early 90s, which was great for running up or down or across the bay. It seems that the Sassafras R. is a bit further north - how far a run across the bay is it to Middle River - 15 miles? From there, i'm pretty familiar with proximity to other stuff (Inner Harbor, Annapolis, St. Michaels, Canal, etc.)
thanks in advance!
