I have been off the water since my last post. I'm having withdrawl. I may take a ride today to see what the bay looks like (by car).
I'm thinking about checking out SP Park ramps, heading over to the Eastern Shore and stopping at Metapeake, then riding down to Romankoke to check out Eastern Bay.
I might have to stop at the tiki bar at Kent Narrows for a beer or two to drown my sorrows.

Say hi to Al for me.

I sold them that bright colored paint on the building there about 10 years ago.

Marty,

If you do end up taking that trip, post what you saw....

I am more than likely going to take a short ride on the boat this evening and will post what it looks like out there.

Mike

Ended up not going out....kids got the best of me....

Talked to a few folks and they said the big debris is on the retreat, water still the color of chocolate milk.

Will get out for an hour or two tomorrow. Hoping to get out with Spot77 on Sunday as well.

Will post an update tomorrow.

Stay safe out there.

I only got to a few marinia's yesterday and it looked like there was lots of debris between the boats in the slips (grasses, sticks,logs). However, the boats that were running the creek were full throttle. Most of the trash has been pushed (either by boat wake or wind) to the river banks.
The bay still looks muddy, but the tributaries seem to be clearing. I guess there is still mud behind the flood gates.
This week is suposed to be pretty dry, so maybe the bay will be clearing as well.
I still plan to trailer south looking for my fish later this week.

So couple of points...

In our creek most of the debris is against the shore...A few pieces here and there in the main areas but boat traffic was not hindered at all by anything in the water...

A lot of the big stuff seems to be disappearing, where its went is anyones guess...As long as it does not rupture the bottom of my boat, I dont care...

Water actually looked cleaner and less "chocalatey"...It is still bad, but it looks like the clearing has begun....

Caught a few fish in about an hour on artificials....

Yesterday we spent the morning removing debris from our neighborhood's main beach.

Some had worked on it during the week, but we still had enormous logs washing up on the shore. By evening, most of the big crap had stopped coming in and the water out in the Magothy looked a whole lot better than it has.

I'm sure there's still plenty of navigational hazards, but as long as you're not driving your boat like an idiot, the days of running out at idle speed might be behind us.
