What about internet? Annapolis is covered by Annapolis Wireless and many hotels around anchorages and marinas offer WIFI service, quite a few are open. The signals carry surprisingly far over water, but don't expect blazing speeds. You can also bring your WIFI hotspot or mobile phone, there is coverage everywhere on the Chesapeake Bay.

What about pump outs? Please have the holding tanks pumped out and keep the receipt as proof. There is a $25 charge if you want us to have the pump out done. This is to help keep the Chesapeake Bay clean. Pump outs are available at most marinas and fuel docks.

What about fuel? We note the fuel level at the beginning of the charter (like when renting a car) and charge you to refill it, or you can top off with DIESEL FUEL during the pump-out. Note that the normal operation of the engines to get out on the Bay, anchoring, recharging batteries etc. for a 2-3 day charter will not use more than a few gallons of diesel.

What about the security deposit? We refund your security deposit within two weeks less any damage, fuel & pump-out charges. We need time to check the boat including propellers and rudders.

What about the weather? Spring on the Chesapeake Bay is delightful usually with good winds. 
The summer is hot and sometimes muggy, although a breeze can be had when anchoring out. Like a quick shower? We experience refreshing thunder showers in the afternoons on muggy days. 
The fall is beautiful when the leaves are changing color, there are good winds and comfortable temperatures.
