Chartering on the Bay is a creative encounter; the experience can vary from a rail-down thrash to weather to leisurely gunkholing up a quiet creek and dropping the anchor in a secluded cove. The average water depth on the Bay is twenty-one feet, and there are only a few rocks in the entire Chesapeake - mostly sand-mud bottom - ideal for anchoring and safe for the boat should grounding occur.Tidal range is small and currents are light, and fog is a rarity. The Bay is one of the safest large bodies of water for sailing in the entire world!
