Chesapeake City Maryland is the place. Beer, boats, and beads are the game. Over 400 boats will be there on June 25, and 800 people in Chespeake Inn, a bar and grill, the back drop for this yearly bash. I'll be there in my 74 sleekcraft jetboat, wearing a smile. If you wan't more info E-mail me at wjones468@aol.com.
Where's this place at?
Hey Rat. Wideopen and I both tried to get in touch with this 2 post wonder, but the email address is bunk. After looking on the map, its directly across the bay from Havre De Grace, on the east side. Adds maybe 20 minutes to my drive. So when I saw this on the map, I'm wondering if this "400 boats" is actually something going on over there at Chesapeake City, or if its the sandbar that we've all been to that he's referring to?
Maybe 737Jetmech or Hammer can shed some light on this......anyways it's next weekend, are you going?
Doubt it.
It's not the sand bar, but it is in Cheasapeake City. And whoever tried my e-mail I'm sorry, it's a new one and I guess I f...... up. The real e-mail is wjones468@aol.com
Or no try jones468@aol.com I'm stupid!
I've been doing alot of digging and it is real, but is it more accomodating for the bigger boats or what? It actually sounds pretty nice.

you have bin doing some diggin. You can put in at Delaware City boat ramp and it's only right around the corner. Though I'm putting in at Augustine Beach boat ramp because I have a couple of bigger Scarab's going with me to break the wake in front of me.
Here is the best link I could find.

Are you going?
big water is not for me
sorry :supp:
there was a guy last year with a boat just like yours and he said he had no problem, plus theres a ramp right in the harbor across from the Inn.
Doubt it.
Thanks for the support... :notam: .
Actually it is in that cove pictured above in the heart of Chesapeake City. Once your in it great, but that cove will be packed...and the channel to and from will be rough as a mo-fo from big boat traffic. So unless one has a boat with some substantial freeboard it could get ugly fast.
Yes there is a ramp right in the harbor across from the Inn. But where's the fun in a one minute boat ride?
Rat...a great little town to walk around and go (Antiquing)... :D also some of the best crabs and seafood from a place called The Tap Room! Best Mussels in Red over pasta ever!
Thanks for the support... :notam: .
Didn't mean anything negative, but the wife is on call this weekend and with the 4th being the weekend after...I doubt I'm going. Would I take the jet? No. The blue boat? Maybe. Or might even just take the car there and walk around. The rooms were about $130/ night. Next year is even a bigger possibility.

I may go to make up for missing Anna. I also want to meet up with some Bay boaters anyway. Any chance I could meet up with you somewhere Sleek468 or anyone else? Where would be the best place to put in to avoid the boat ramp rush? I can deal with a little chop and big boat wake but not to much. I have a bigger boat now, 21' Checkmate which should do better then my 15' Hydrostream, but it's still not a big water boat. It will handle the chop/wake better then the jet/v-drive race boats though ;-)
Hammer, my "I doubt it" post was not about you knowing about any info, it was about whether I'm going or not. Sorry about that.

Yea, I'll be be at the boat ramp at about 9 in the morning to beat all the big traffic. I'm not sure what ramp I'm using yet, but I think Delaware City ramp might be the best. It's only a short ride to the party. I think a buddy of mine is going to meet me at the mouth of the canal so I can follow him. He's got a 22' scarab, so the wake won't be that bad. These other guy's will do 100 mph in their boats but are scared of a little wave, I can't understand it? If you wan't to meet me you can e-mail me and I can give you a better idea of what's going on.
We went on Friday last year ... The cove was already packed! Many beads were exchanged ... Crazy time !
How about some pics, or an update?

I was going to bring my boat but at the last minute I thought I would rather drink with no fears. Did you see that white fickle fork? That's 132 mph in the quarter mile. The guy in the red and white Eliminator is a buddy of mine, he does stucco work for me. His boat goes about 95 and 800 hp. I'm glad you had a good time ....... I know I did!!!! :)
Sorry bout' the red X deal. I know the problem & I will try again soon....
I saw the boats you were talking about, lotta HP went by that day.
