Assawoman Bay

[bobby2400]

Can anybody give me some advice on navagation at Assawoman. *We will be going down to Ocean City in a couple of weeks and staying on the bay side in a condo with a slip. *I will be taking the V down. *I have a GPS but I always think local knowledge is better. *I will be staying around 118th ST. *

Excuse my lack of worldly excursions. ARE YOU SERIOUS :D :D :D

[bobby2400]

I'm not sure what you mean. ???

[tsubaki]

I'm sorry they don't even name stuff like that in Florida. Again excuse my ignorance. I couldn't help myself. :P :P :P

[bobby2400]

I agree. I thought that would get some attention. It is the actual bay that runs on the bayside of Ocean City MD.

I gotta look farther north than Cape Fear for strange names, just to keep me active.

Bobby, I could give you some info, but it would be dated a few years. One of our regulars, C Yensen will be along shortly or in the morning. Those are his home waters. Enjoy your trip.

OK, so what is the correct pronunciation of this Bay's name????

[parishht]

***/a/woman I believe is the correct pronunciation.

Be careful, all the backwaters of OC, maryland and up through De.
are tricky and change often.
There are charts available, but they seam to be hard to find.
I lucked out and someone lost one that I found on the side of the road.

im here ;D

dont go up that way too much. my main advice would be to stay in the center of the bay. the channel is poorly marked but she is in the center. If you head south, hit the center of the 90 bridge and continue straight south. you will see a day marker straight ahead.

north of the 90 bridge, you are pretty good at low tide the bay is around 4 feet deep up there.

any specific questions let me know and i will be glad to answer. ;)

[bobby2400]

Thanks, Now the more important question.. WHERE ARE ALL THE FLOUNDER AT ;D ;D ;D. It looks like it will be a little tricky getting from the condo out to the channel but after that I will follow you advice. I did order a ADK chart map for that are.

[Airslot]

Did somebody say flounder? ;D

[tsubaki]

OH, FOUND IT ;D

[C YENSEN]
