Re: [Cal_Boats] DELAY Reggie and Barbara Northbound

Reggie, Also along the eastern shore are fish traps that extend perpendicular to the shore as far as 1/4 mile. They look like a picket fence and most of the mf 'ers are not lit at night. They are particularly bad between the latitude of the patuxent to the Knapps Narrows. As far as crab pots if you stay in water 15'+ deep you are pretty safe although there are the occaisional stragglers. Good luck with your repairs!

If you decide on the straight shot to Annapolis, watch for some stronger S to SW winds overnight. Would certainly make the boat move, though. Also, the mouth of the Potomac around Smith Point is kind of like the Hatteras of the Bay. Can be some squirrelly things going on there. > >Many shallows and a lot of darkness on the Eastern shore.
