You will find similar creeks of the Choptank side also. Harris Creek is one of my all time favorite holes, anytime. It is getting a bit "known" though. Kept a 42x15x5 20000# up at Cambridge, but sat out Isabel on the hard at York River just by chance. Broad Creek and Trent Avon offer some options too. Whole neighborhood is worth the trek... Nice cut from RN "80A" to G "7" (SB) behind Sharps Light, so you don't need to go way down and come way back. Oxford (on the Trent Avon) is smaller and quiet town. Some good food there. If you head to Cambridge, just watch the G "19A" at Howell's Pt. It moves just a bit with the sand. Jim Morris' "Floating Opera" describes the point on a hot August weekend. There are great sunsets looking down the river, and over The Bay. If you need work done, Cambridge has some great craftsmen, even if the City likes to look at condos on the shore line. Not as "tourist" as St. Mike and Oxford but easy to tell people where to meet the boat and with a car, an easy run, as I like to say, around the "Sandbar (DeMarVa)." There is a good bar which serves crab at the Maryland St bridge (south side) on Cambridge Creek. The Yacht Club (City Marina west side of channel) serves some nice dinners too. Don't know how the Hyatt is, above the Route 50 bridge. You have to watch the clearance with some sticks. The best restaurant in the area is on up the Choptank at Secretary (Suicide Bridge Restaurant) with 6-10 docks. You can get all the way to Denton, but never made it myself. Don't know what the river is like on up.
