Get your trailer wheel bearings greased and check the tires before departing, then pressure wash the trailer and the boat after ouhauling from salt water and grease the bearings again.

Tom, What kind of cruise did you have in mind. Sleeping on the boat in quite isolated coves or hopping from Marina to Marina? There are not a lot of Marinas on the Eastern shore which makes it a great cruising ground in my opinion.

Tom, I've had some nice cruises on the Eastern shore. If you are planning to use a public launch ramp be aware that many of them are County owned and you'll need a local permit for the ramp. These are easy to get by contacting the county. Also, many sporting goods and bait shops sell them. There is a large state park ramp near the western side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the northern bay. From there it is a short hop across to the Eastern shore. Kent Narrows also has a free public ramp under the Highway bridge there. It is a good jump of point for the Chester River area, the Eastern Bay, and the Choptank Rvers.

Hi Tom, I've had the pleasure of sailing with both Mike and Doug. They're good sailors and they know the bay. I've lived in Md my whole life and can probably help you locate what you're looking for. You can contact me 'off list' and we can discuss your goal and tentative plans.
