We are ALWAYS down for the Fourth. Sometimes by ourselves and sometimes with a veritable flotilla.
That's o.k., we only did N.E. too. HdG was on Sunday night and I had work monday.
I stand corrected. You guys did meet us up at N.E. for the Fourth and so Pam would not have been able to take those wonderful pictures on that day. It was indeed on the way down to Loyds Creek.
It's been a while since I was to the campgrounds, if I remember right, they are pretty far up above Georgetown. I was only there from the land side and I was young then, I'm not sure I even realized it was off of the Sassafrass. I don't think you will want to run that boat up there other than as an access point. It's about an hour's run to get to the Bay proper. And it's brackish water, not exactly fresh, but no jellyfish.
Could you mean Indian Acres? http://indianacres.net/
For launching at their ramp- only near high tide. I took my 23 Nova there and could only get to their dock within an hour of high tide. The bottom is all soft mud. Once you're out of Dowdell Creek the depths are OK but there are lilypads lining both shores until you get past Mcgill Creek.
There are lots of performance boats in the upper Bay but this isn't one of their 'hang-outs'. The closest one is Lloyds Creek, off the Sassafras near Ordinary Point.
On the Sassafras side of Knights Island (which BTW, isn't really an island) there's plenty of room for tubing, but the river can get busy so it's best to stay out of the channel.
As SuperNova said, it's brackish- mostly fresh. In 25 years I've never detected any salt.
Like I said, it's been years since I was there and I went in from the land side. We took a boat out in the creek from the campgrounds ramp, but we didn't go far. My time estimate was based on where I thought the campgrounds were. I didn't even remember the name correctly; I knew it didn't sound right but couldn't figure out why. I did get the brackish part right though, and I definitely remember the lily pads. That's a whole other story, though.Could you mean Indian Acres? http://indianacres.net/
If so then yes. I considered buying there about 15 years ago. My answers will assume this is the place you're referring to.
Basically, it's the waters north and east of Knights Island on the north side of the Sassafras.
On a chart, it's actually called Back Creek, then Dowdell Creek. And it's not beyond Georgetown, BTW.

SuperNova said an hour to the Bay- well maybe for a sailboat, but for a speedboat it's more like 10- 15 minutes.

This is from Skargo's album, but I found it humorous.....
Just what do you think that skipper is looking at? I bet it's not the Jet-skier
She takes most of the pics when we're out.
I just want to know what you have to do for a living to be able to afford the house and the boat.....and the blonde.That's one of our friends on SW.
My wife has a good eye for eye candy
i feel the same way...if I can't pay in cash then either I don't need it or I wait til I can. Credit is a killer.
My trucks are newer, but my boat is an '86. Speaking of which, here's a couple of little pieces of info about my boat which you might find interesting, since you're familiar with the houses around Anchor. You know that little spanish villa looking place on the first point on the left as you're coming out of Anchor? It used to be owned by a man named George Braun....that's right as in "Braun Shavers". Guess who the original buyer was on my boat? Damn your good, that's right George Braun. My boat used to sit on the lift at the side of the pier at that little villa. It was purchased originally from Anchor Marine. I musta passed it and admired it a thousand times back in the late 80's and 90's. Never woulda thought one day I'd own it. Go figure.That house is right past Anchor and the Goose, sweet setup! I'd love to have something similar.
