Every
captain on the Chesapeake knows the usual spots like behind Hart Miller Island where boaters congregate to break out the
barbecue grill and take a dip in the
water on sunny weekends during the summer. But almost every
captain also knows a few local
anchorages where they can drop
anchor or just raft up with a few friends when they want to avoid the crowds too. (THOSE are what I'm looking for).
I'm attempting to create a comprehensive
Google Map of shallow "sandy", (not mud, muck, or rocky),
anchorages around the bay. The kind of place where you can
anchor and everyone on board can jump off and stand barefoot in chest deep
water (4'-5') on a sandy bottom with a sandy walk up shoreline.
What I'm looking for are either lat long coords or very specific location descriptions that you have a first hand knowledge of along with a short sentence or two describing the best way to anchor there, how crowded it gets (or doesn't get) during the summer months, and any unique characteristics of the location.
The
current map can be found here:
