[Rhodes22-list] Ramps Re: 1st Sail of the Season

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mike,
There were some folks on the Trailer Sailor BB who launched from 
Sandy Point and if I recall correctly had no issues. You might want 
to talk to the State Park directly about security. When Pete Thorn 
came up from NC to sail the Chesapeake the first time he launched 
from Holiday Hill Marina in Mayo MD on the Rhode River south of 
Annapolis. Friends of ours from Canada who spent a week on the Bay 
launched from Maryland Marina on the Middle River north of Baltimore. 
If you are interested in coming over to the Eastern Shore I could be 
of some direct help but it is an hour or a bit more longer driving. 
Once you get into cruise planning I'd be glad to help. Can offer 
suggestions from Elk Neck to Solomons Island on the Patunxent. Hope 
to get to meet you as well.
