Gary,
It's been a while since I've been on the left coast but all are an option. I had an Island Packet 37 on Tampa Bay out of St. Pete and liked the area a lot. I'd guess someone runs a charter operation there. I had a charter boat for a couple ...
we have sailed from louseyanny to dry tortugas now and back to tampa---we have been in tampa 3 times so far and in tortugas one time and port st joe twice and fort myers twice----seems around tampa is always full of thunderstorm activity--same wit...
if you go into tampa bay area and wish to anchor--do not do it in the north yacht basin in st pete--is silt over shale and you will drag anchor ...not fun....there is excellent anchoring in manatee river....
I hope you don't mind - I've added you as a friend. I am familiar with Rock Hall. Did some sailing this summer with a couple of sailing friends. Sorry I didn't respond to your earlier comment (much earlier). Been busy and haven't visited the site much of late. Now that I'm getting itchy about sailing again will most likely visit more often.
Gary, SeaKnots is much like Facebook. You have tto be confirmed as a friends to share your profile. I sail out of Deltaville, VA which is in the mouth of the Rappahannock River. I sail a Beneteau 473. I am also new to SeaKnots but I have joined a couple of groups and also started one. It is a good way to share information about places to go and also about problems you may encounter while sailing. Good resource site.
