I will give you my comments about the various marinas and anchorages where I've stayed. Remember that some of these comments are several years old; conditions can and do change, both for the better and the worse. If you're making a trip, get current information and use your own judgment.
I provide links to pages on my web site that contain pictures of the places I visited. If there are multiple pages of pictures, you can select a page or just start at the first page (the pages are linked together). I also provide internet links to the marinas, and in some cases, to the towns and cities.
- Annapolis, MD (marina and anchorage) - I kept my boat at Bert Jabin's Yacht Yard, in Eastport by the big blue water tower on Back Creek. I have also anchored out in Back Creek near the marina. On the plus side, Annapolis is very boater-friendly. There are numerous chandleries and boat workers providing all kinds of goods and services. There are several public dinghy docks providing relatively easy access to the city for exploring and provisioning. On the other hand, prices for goods and especially services are quite high, due to the high demand. Also, the waterways in the immediate vicinity are very congested, especially on weekends. The Back Creek anchorage was very crowded, and the holding was only so-so. I stayed at Bert Jabin's for more than a year. It was a good yard for do-it-yourself boatwork, plus they allowed liveaboards. As you might expect, they charged "Annapolis prices".

- Rhode River anchorage - The anchorage is just across from where Cadle Creek enters the Rhode River. It was a convenient stop between Solomons and Baltimore. Holding was good. There were a lot of crab pots on the West River on the way to the Rhode River, but they have a marked channel clear of crab pots. I was anchored here on a Wednesday night, and they had a couple of big sailboat races that passed by the anchorage, providing some entertainment.

- Solomons, MD (marina and anchorage) - I kept my boat at Town Center Marina for more than a year, plus I anchored out on Back Creek in the wide spot above Zahniser's Yachting Center on my trip to Florida. I really like Solomons. It has a laid-back small-town atmosphere and was a nice place to live, although things were pretty dead in the winter. It's also a great place to visitI still go back often, by car, nowadays. I stayed at Town Center Marina because it was the cheapest marina in town, but you get what you pay for. The place is falling apart at the seams, and the facilities are mediocre (the bathrooms aren't even air-conditioned!). On the other hand, TCM has a very nice community of liveaboards and is very conveniently located. There are several anchorages around Solomons. You can anchor right in the harbor, but there's not much room and there's a lot of traffic. You can also go down Mill Creek and find several places to anchor, but it's quite far from town. I think the Back Creek anchorage is the most convenient. You can dinghy over to Hospitality Harbor at the Holiday Inn, which is the closest marina to the shopping center. You can also dinghy all the way around Janes Point and up the Narrows to the public dock (and pumpout) if you want to visit the restaurants and shops on Solomons Island.

- Smith Creek / Jutland Creek anchorage - These scenic creeks are on the north shore of the Potomac River a few miles upriver from Point Lookout. There are numerous places to anchor and holding is good. If you want to eat out, you can dinghy over to Point Lookout Marina. The entrance to the creeks from the Potomac is a little tricky. You definitely need to make an S-turn as you pass "3" and "4" to stay in the narrow channel of deep water between those two daymarks. I think the chart is quite accurate.

- Deltaville Marina, Deltaville, VA - I have stayed here several times and really like the marina. I've always received very good service and I've always found the facilities to be complete and in good shape. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable, and the spacious boater's lounge has a data jack, book-swap library, and TV. There are some good local restaurants; they'll even send somebody to come get you. Some of the slips can be too shallow for me to use but the T-heads are fine. The entrance from the Bay into Jackson Creek is a little unnerving the first time, but the channel is reliable and extremely well marked. Take it slowly and stay close to the marks, since the channel is narrow. I've seen boats anchored in Jackson Creek above the marina, but the anchorage looked quite crowded.

- Poquoson River anchorage - I stayed here in the summer and noticed a lot of traffic using Chisman Creek, where I wanted to anchor. So instead, I anchored in the Poquoson River itself, near Hodges Cove, which was fine.

- Downtown Hampton Public Piers, Hampton, VA - I've stayed here twice and generally like it. The last time I visited (November 2001), I bumped bottom on the way in and out of the mouth of the Hampton River. I saw 4.5' depths near high tide, and since the tide runs about 3', it could have caused me serious trouble. The docks are in good shape, but the shoreside bathrooms are only mediocre. The marina is very close to the tourist area, including the Air & Space Museum with its IMAX shows. The marina is completely accessible to the public, so keep your boat locked. There's a very small anchorage near the marina, but it looked crowded to me.

- Free docks at Great Bridge, VA (also known as Chesapeake, VA) - I like stopping hereit's close to shopping and you can't beat the price. Heading south, the first free dock is a bulkhead on the right side, after the lock but before the swing bridge. This is the nice dock, and it also has easier access to the shopping area. The second free dock is a rickety wooden dock on the left after the swing bridge. This dock has more difficult access to the shopping areayou have to walk over the swing bridge. The bridge has a miniscule sidewalk but traffic is very heavy and goes roaring by just past your elbow, so be very careful. The first time I stopped here, I was too chicken to walk across the bridge. Since the first dock is nicer, it seems to fill up first. On the other hand, the second dock is past the bridge, so that's one less bridge to wait for the next day, if you're heading south.

- Atlantic Yacht Basin, Great Bridge, VA - This is a large and old facility; they do all kinds of work. Dockage and fuel is easy-access directly alongside the waterway. There's easy access to shopping and restaurants, since you don't have to walk across the busy bridge.

- North River anchorage (above Albemarle Sound) - I have stayed near Lutz Creek three times. The holding is good and it's generally very peaceful, although there can be some wakes from passing traffic. In the summer, there were numerous crab pots throughout the area that restricted anchoring room. There are plenty of other places to anchor on the North River, if you want to be sheltered from the wind. I once tried to get into the very sheltered Broad Creek, but the entrance was so narrow and "iffy" that I chickened out. I could see boats on the creek inside the entrance, including sailboats.

- Alligator River, Tuckahoe Point anchorage - I have stayed here three times, too. I leave the waterway channel and travel west up the narrow finger of deeper water, anchoring southwest of the point in the middle of the deeper water. The holding is good, and although the guidebooks warn of submerged snags, I haven't had any problems. In fact, the first time I anchored here, I rigged a trip line on the anchor in case it got snagged. Instead, the float for the trip line got snagged on the boat's prop shaft as the boat wandered around the anchor in light and variable winds. There can be a lot of crab pots in the area. I have seen boats anchored by Deep Point, but the water seemed very shallow to me.

- Dowry Creek Marina, Belhaven, NC - This is one of the nicest marinas that I have stayed at. The facilities are complete and very well maintained (the owners live on-site and do a first-class job). They have individual rest rooms, a laundry, store, pool, tennis courts, a courtesy car, and a beautiful lounge with a satellite TV, microwave, wet bar, and gas log fireplace. Plus, if you stay three nights at $1 a foot, the fourth night is free, making the overall price 75 cents a foota real bargain. I highly recommend this marina. You can't really walk or ride your bike to Belhaven, because the marina is several miles from town and the busy highway doesn't have shoulders. However, it's an easy hop in the courtesy car.

- River Forest Marina, Belhaven, NC - I have stayed here twice, but I don't think I'll stay here again. Although the old mansion was quite charming and the fried chicken delicious, the service building with the bathrooms was run-down and dirty, and on one visit, there was no hot water. Depths are very shallow, and if a strong wind is blowing you towards shore, access is a little dicey. They do have a nice pool and provide golf carts so you can ride around town. Belhaven is a nice town to visit; it has real small-town charm. They have a good local hardware store, a Food Lion, and several restaurants. Access to town is very easy from the marinayou can ride your bike or walk, or use the courtesy golf carts.

- South River anchorage, across from Oriental, NC - I have stayed here twice, anchoring near Hardy Creek, and I really like it. There's plenty of space and good holding, the scenery is nice, and the surroundings are very peaceful. On the downside, it's several miles off the track of the waterway.

- Whittaker Creek Yacht Harbor, Oriental, NC - This was a fairly nice marina with pretty good facilities and service. I stayed here on my first southbound trip, but since I "discovered" the South River anchorage, I don't feel the need to stay at a marina in the Oriental area. I didn't see much of Oriental, so I don't have any comments about it.

- Beaufort Docks, Beaufort, NC - I really like Beaufort, it's a great town to visit. There are lots of shops and restaurants, a really good maritime museum, and some interesting sights. Almost everything is within easy walking distance, with the exception of the grocery store (use the courtesy car). I also used Beaufort as a mail drop to pick up mail at General Delivery, which worked well. I have stayed at Beaufort Docks twice, but I am less than thrilled about the facilities and service. It can be tricky to get in and out of the slipsthere's not a lot of maneuvering room and there can be a lot of current. Despite what the guidebook says, some slips are broadside to the currentI know, I had one. I found the dockhands to be somewhat surly, and the staff inexplicably closed the bathroom for cleaning right during the peak morning hours. Also, I think I might have taken on some bad fuel here. On the other hand, the marina is certainly very convenient to town, being literally right in the middle of it. There is a large anchorage in front of the marina, but it is very crowded and there are vigorous reversing currents.

- Town Creek Marina, Beaufort, NC - I stayed here once, and found it to be an O.K. marina. With the Boat U.S. discount figured-in, prices were quite reasonable, especially for fuel. There's not much maneuvering room next to the fuel dock. As I was turning around, I strayed out of the deep water and bumped bottom. There's little current, since the marina is not in a big waterway with heavy tidal flows. They have a good restaurant on-site; it's extensively decorated with lots of interesting folk art. Take a look even if you're not going to eat there. They also have a pretty good ship's store and a courtesy car.

- Southport Marina, Southport, NC - I stayed here once just to see what it was like, I probably won't visit again. Service was so-so and the transient dockage was alongside the busy fuel dock. The town was small and sleepy and there didn't seem to be much to do. It wasn't a bad place to visit, it's just that Bald Head Island Marina is only a few miles away, and I like Bald Head Island much better.

- Bald Head Island Marina, Bald Head Island, NC - I like Bald Head IslandI think it's a good example of the right way to develop a resort island. Access is by boat (private yacht, or ferry boat for the masses); there is no bridge from the mainland. Cars aren't allowed on the island; the locals get around by golf cart, bicycle, or on foot, thus the roads are not much more than paths. Although there are quite a few homes, they blend in well with their surroundings. There are only a few shops and only one grocery store, so they have successfully resisted over-commercializing the island. There are still many natural areas remaining, including forests, creeks, marshes, and miles of beaches. The marina is O.K., although I bumped bottom once in the middle of the marina at low tide. There's a fair amount of traffic in the marina basin due to the ferry boats going in and out.

- Charleston Harbor Marina at Patriots Point, Mount Pleasant, SC - I stayed here once, and won't visit again. The basic problem was that the service building (with restrooms) was a long walk, and the service building didn't have showers. To take a shower, you had to sign-out a room key for the nearby hotel, then take another long walk to the hotel. They only had two rooms available for marina use, and I had to wait. Also, I was told by my crewperson that he saw a security camera in the room, although I didn't see it. I found this to be rather shocking, since you normally assume a hotel room is private. They also claimed to have laundry facilities, but if you wanted to use them, they loaded you in a golf cart and drove you to a laundromat in town. The marina was kind of pricey, and the facilities weren't commensurate with the price. Also, although the marina was very close to the Yorktown naval museum (a major draw in itself), to get to Charleston, you had to take a water taxi.

- City Marina, Charleston, SC (on the Ashley River) - I stayed here once, and the marina was O.K. It was a long walk to get to the restrooms, but at least they had showers at the same location. I noted that the dinghy dock was high and dry on a mudflat at low tide. The big advantage of this marina is that it is on the Charleston peninsula, very close to the downtown business district and historic area. It was very easy to hop on my bicycle and be cruising past beautiful old mansions within a few minutes. I think Charleston is a terrific place to visit, and I have a lot more to say about it on my Charleston page.

- Charleston Maritime Center, Charleston, SC (on the Cooper River) - I stayed here for three months when I spent the winter in Charleston, and I liked the marina very much. The location is extremely convenientit is a short distance to a grocery store and other shops, the main library, the post office, a chandlery, and the new Charleston Aquarium. The historic district is also very close. The facilities are pretty good but they don't have a laundry; the nearest laundromat is a mile away. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The marina has space for only a few boats, so you can't just show up and expect a slip. Also, they get many big wakes from the passing ship and tugboat traffic. You need to double-up all your docklines, since your boat will experience occasional vigorous pitching and rolling inside the marina.

- Buzzard's Roost Marina, John's Island, SC (on the Stono River) - I stayed here for three months when I spent the winter in Charleston. I liked this marina, too. The facilities are pretty good and the staff is friendly. On the other hand, there is nothing near the marinait's in a rural area adjacent to a big marsh. The local highway is very busy and doesn't have any shoulders, so you can't even walk or bicycle anywhere (I had a car, which is a practical necessity here).

- Steamboat Creek anchorage (off the North Edisto River a mile south of the waterway) - This was a large and peaceful anchorage with easy access (no bar across the mouth and good depths inside).

- Downtown Marina, Beaufort, SC - Beaufort, SC is another town I really like. It has many beautiful old homes, plus lots of interesting shops and restaurants. The marina is adjacent to downtown, so most things are close by. Water access to the marina is easy, but only if you can tie up alongside on the outside dock. If you have to go on an inside dock, access might be difficult due to the strong currents and limited maneuvering room. When I visited in summer of 2000, they had just started using their new restroom facilities, which were having some teething problems. I assume the problems have been fixed by now.

- Palmer Johnson Marina, Thunderbolt, GA (near Savannah) - This was a fairly nice marina, with good facilities and service. Dockage was easy alongside on the outer dock, fuel was available here, too. They had huge tides (and currents) here, and sometimes climbing the ramp from the floating dock to shore was almost like climbing a ladder. We took a taxi to visit downtown Savannah. There are a few restaurants in Thunderbolt, but not much else. I also rented a car here to visit Hilton Head Island (which, by the way, I didn't liketoo overdeveloped and too much traffic). Note: This marina has been sold and is now called Thunderbolt Marine.

- Brunswick Landing Marina, Brunswick, GA - I enjoyed visiting Brunswick, although it's not necessarily someplace I would go back to frequently. The marina had very easy water access and fuel at each slip. The restrooms were so-sothey needed some drain unclogging and minor repairs but were otherwise O.K. There was a comfortable air-conditioned boater's lounge with cable TV, lending library, and data jack. Adjacent to the lounge was the one unique feature of this marina: they had a free laundry facility! That's right, two late-model washers and dryers, no coins needed! Needless to say, the laundry was busy, so I had to wait. The marina was convenient to most things, but it was a bit of a bike ride to the grocery store (although there was a nearby convenience store).

- Mayport Marine, Mayport, FL - This marina is on the St. Johns River a short distance from its mouth at the Atlantic Ocean. We stopped here after sailing overnight from Savannah, GA. Normally, we would stay for two nights to rest, but this marina was so underwhelming that we left after one night. Part of the problem was that there was no hot water in the restrooms. The hot water heater had broken months earlier when a hurricane passed by, and nobody bothered to fix it.

- Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor, St. Augustine, FL - We visited St. Augustine and wanted to stay at the conveniently-located municipal marina. However, the marina was still closed due to extensive damage from the recent hurricanes (this was in the fall of 1999). So instead, we stayed at Camachee Cove, which was O.K. The facilities were reasonably good, although maneuvering room was a little tight inside the marina. We got a ride into St. Augustine and saw what we wanted to see in one afternoon. We originally thought it would take two days.

- Halifax Harbor Marina, Daytona Beach, FL - I stayed here for a month after we got to Florida. This still stands as the best marina I have visited. Facilities and service were first class. Of course, you get what you pay forthis was the most expensive marina I stayed at, as well. They had easy access fuel and pumpout (including a pumpout boat that would come to you!), six clean and comfortable service buildings with restrooms, laundry, and telephones, a boater's lounge with TV/VCR, data jack, and library, beautifully landscaped surroundings, picnic areas, plenty of parking, and they even had a West Marine on-site! Since I didn't have a car, I appreciated that the marina was very conveniently located in downtown Daytona Beach (although a full-size grocery store was a bit of a bike ride).

- Seven Seas Marina and Boatyard, Port Orange, FL - I stayed here for five months in the winter while I worked on my boat. This is a do-it-yourself marina that accepts liveaboards, which is not a very common combination and one that I appreciate very much. The marina facilities are so-sosomewhat old and worn, and the restrooms were perpetually dirty and buggy. But they had everything I needed and the staff was friendly and helpful. They have a small but popular restaurant on-site, and are very convenient to the beach. Groceries are about a mile away, an easy bike ride in flat Florida. There was the usual collection of eccentric characters hanging out at the marina. This seems to happen at lower-cost marinas that accept liveaboards and have a do-it-yourself boatyard, and it keeps things interesting.
