Hi,
I am bringing my Valiant 40 up from the Bahamas and need a mooring in northern Chesapeake Bay. Does anybody have any suggestions. I know that the only moorings in the Annapolis Area are controlled by the Annapolis harbormaster.
Anything up in the northern part of the Chesapeake is acceptable. I want to be able to drive down from the NYC area.
Suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

The hard part, it would seem to me, is where to keep your dingy. You can put down a mooring almost anywhere, but you will need a place to launch and or keep your dingy.

I have a slip near galesville, MD (West River, just south of Annapolis). There is a public dock there and and place to park. I have seen several private moorings put down over the last several years...
