That looks a awesome!

We actually did that loop without even realizing it when we did out light house tour in 2012. It is some of the most beautiful area of the ICW and can be done in as little as 1 day and take up to 3 or 4 days to really appreciate the area. We plan on going back and doing the dismal swamp when we have more time to really enjoy and explore the place.

Some are reconsidering the long drive.

That would mess up your name MLCKA ("anyboady got MLKCA?")

I agree with Vic. We had a lot of fun last year but the drive liked to killed us. We would like to vote for a LOMUCKA.

I found the first 8,000 miles of the drive to be rather pleasant.

Its about a 100 mile loop and beautiful in the spring. Everything is blooming and its before the bugs and heat. There are free docks or you can anchor in remote areas if you prefer. All the snowbirds are coming north about then with good stories from the winter. There are published itineraries online for the loop and a free video on amazon prime to see what it is like. Its probably our favorite cruise we have done.

Seapup, you should start a thread about your ICW trip you might pickup some followers, I'm interested but can't get that much time off. I hope to see and hear more about it.

As for the rest of you MUCKA travelers.... too funny. Doesn't anyone live around the North Chesapeake?

I've got the weekends of 7/11 and 7/18 "penciled in" on my calendar... 7/11 is likely to be easier for me, but with 5 kids there are often changes in plans. So no guarantees, but many hopes! We'll be at the Dundee Creek Marina with our . That's just north of Middle River, and therefore VERY close to Hart Miller Island, Pooles Island and all that. Thanks for starting to arrange this!

I'm sorry to say but I will be unable to host the 2014 MUCKA this year.

Due to company mergers, seniority adjustments, and other factors I was unable to guarantee any weekend time off through vacation bidding, and lately I'm only getting 1 random full weekend off during the bid monthly which is undetermined until 15days prior.
So with that in mind If anyone else is interested in picking up the torch for this years event feel free but I can't guarantee my attendance and more then likely I will be working.

I'm sorry if this has causes any inconvenience in your sailing schedule.

Do we need to do a Mid Point Sail?

I am definitely in if a central POC can achieve consensus for a coordinated sail-plan for the group. I live on Kent island, so can attest to the desirability of Chestertown, Rock hall and Kent Narrows. Although I haven't been to Chestertown by Macgregor yet. It is a bit of a hike upriver by sail, unless the winds are out of the South.

Hey Tony
I'm out of the Middle River area. Launch from Maryland Marina.
I had posted earlier in this forum looking for anyone one in the area.
Don't want to crash this message board, so perhaps we can have other Chesapeaker's join us there.
Here's the link...
