    Do not tie up to the free dock with a significant south wind. You will be bashing all night and have real trouble getting off. Otherwise fender boards really come in handy or tying fenders directly to the dock pilings

    After several years of being closed, Waterman's crab House is open again. Not sure what their policy is for tying up at the rebuilt docks.

    I never saw less than 5 feet of water here at the normal low tide. Very short, run to the town dock for a dinghy tie up. Not too much right in town but a pizza/sub shop and a Royal Farms.

    Drawing 4 feet or less you should have no problem getting to the small free town dock by the park. A strong south wind though would be tricky docking. About a mile to the downtown shops. As an aside I was able to get to Have de Grace the next day using the northern route, which is unmarked. I turned at red marker six at low tide and saw 3 feet of water only a couple times. Otherwise 5 feet or more all the way to Town.
