WOOO HOOOOO. Let's get to plannin'
This will be the first official raftup of the season. We'll be at Eagle Cove on the Magothy. For those of you unfamiliar with the cove, here are the coordinates:
N39 05.306 W76 26.004
The official dates will be Sat May 24th through Monday May 26th. Some of us will be out on Friday so if you want to head down early, I'm sure someone will be there.
We've had a number of posts on other threads about ramps, locations etc. and here's the general info:
Sandy Point State Park is the closest public ramp on the western shore (and probably the best in the area). If you want to launch on the eastern shore (from Kent Island), you'll be directly across the bay from the magothy. There's a public ramp at Kent Narrows Landing on Piney Narrows road, right at the narrows. From that ramp, you head north around Love Point and then head due west past the Baltimore Lighthouse right to mouth of the Magothy. If you're looking for a ramp further north of Kent Island, here's a link to all the ramps in Kent County and info on each ramp

For the guys coming down from the north on the water, post when you're leaving and maybe some of the new people can join you and "Crownvoy" down like we've done in the past.
As always, we'll be monitoring channel 68 all weekend so if anyone needs an assist we can get to you.
Our house is just up the river from the cove and it'll be available for any emergencies. (If we had a little more room we'd have the raftup at our dock).
If the water's warm enough, we may have the "Mid Bay" version of the Crown Olympics so if anyone remembers who has the other west marine inflatable, let me know. Kath and I have one, but we'll need another for the competition. I was thinking that one event might be a race around Henry's boat. But then I though that would take the better part of the day
