Description:
The Nor'easter charging
up the east coast has
pushed all of the water
out of the top end of the
Chesapeake Bay. Looks
like I'm in dry dock this
weekend...

Unless that mud is firm enough to taxi on. <br /><br />When I was trying to figure out how to get in and out here at extreme low tide, a water quality guy who was looking the place over remarked, very casually, 'You might be better off dredging.' I didn't pay much attention at first, but later discovered that the soft, sticky mud was only a couple of inches deep, with reasonably firm clay underneath. Then his remark made a lot more sense. Now the extremely low tides usually don't stop me. (Not always when coming in, though, because it's uphill. Several passengers have had to slog to shore, one in very elegant leather boots.)

Dredging is a nice thought, but the strict environmental rules <br />surrounding the Chesapeake Bay make anything 100 yards from the <br />Bay a real challenge to execute.<br /><br />Jerry - sorry to hear about your mud problem. The winds have kept <br />me on the ground, though I note Monday looks perfect for me to <br />explore the upper bay and drop into the Philadelphia SPB (2N9).

Do report back (on a new thread?) your trip in to the Philadelphia SPB. Obviously I've seen it on maps, <br />but the approach (<300 feet) looks 'interesting'...

2N9 is pretty cool precisely because of the < 300 foot thing. Don't be shy - just know where you are. That said, 2N9 is only active officially. No one uses it and somehow a flag pole got planted in the middle of the ramp. I can't say for sure whether you can or cannot get a SeaRey up the ramp, but if Rob doesn't answer the question, I will.....someday.
