Wednesday 23 June: Smith > Tangier > stay at Bayview Inn or Chesapeake House

Thursday 24 June: Tangier to Watts or Onancock > haul-out: arrangements to be made with Capt. Tyler’s Donna? for van-trailer delivery from Crisfield Marina to Nancock > head home via Chincoteague?, Capt. Tyler's

arriveafter noon at the Somers Cove launch ramp across the Cove from the Somers Cove Marina > boat set-up and Marina check-in > group crab dinner at Captain Tyler's Crabhouse.

Accommodations:
Sleep aboard at marina, or follow the luxury model: Hans and I plan to return once more to our beloved Paddlewheel Motel aka Capt. Tyler's  (410-968-2220) which is eminently acceptable: clean, very reasonably priced, right near the Marina.

B&B: We have usually had good luck getting rooms at Hilda Crockett's Chesapeake House 757 891 2331   chesapeakehouseinfo@yahoo.com   I plan to try for the Bay View Inn  where we stayed last time. I highly recommend it. Click here for some of my 2015 Bay View pics.




Thurs 24 May:
Tangier to  Onancock > haul-out  > only if winds are ideal, in which case we can phone Donna at Capt. Tyler's and get someone to pick us up and return us to Crisfield. If we are keen to hang around longer, we could do the usual picnic trip to Watts Island on the Thursday, and sail Tangier to either Crisfield or Onancock on the Friday.



 
Fun thinking about this, isn't it?
