Coming from North Chesapeake Bay |
From Bay Main Shipping Channel - Fl
G "83" Once at Fl G "83", follow a course of 123°m for 4.9nm. This brings you to Fl G "1W", the west entry mark to Knapps Narrows. Leave it to your port side while heading for G "3" directly in front. Continue past G "3" leaving it to port and then past floating buoy R "4" leaving it to starboard. Then steer towards G "5" leaving it to port. Favor the starboard (southern) shore for deeper water as you enter the Knapps Narrows Channel. The shoreline is defined by riprap stone and the yards of upscale homes which surround the marina's basin. Just after passing the riprap stone you will see our 1st marina pierhead and then the basin entry on the right. Note: Knapps Narrows Channel marks on west side have been changing just about every year so be sure to reference the most recent chart. |
