you do end up in the Great Wicomico River, you might want to go up Cockrell Creek
to Reedville. It has some beautiful places to anchor, not much further off your route
than Sandy Point and much more protected, with the option to go into the small town
for restaurants and a very few stores, one good seafood restaurant/outlet right on the
water. You might have to contend with the smell of the menhaden processing plant,
but it's usually not too bad, especially if you choose your anchorage upwind of the
plant. There's also the "adventure" of having to go around all the docked menhaden
fishing boats through a narrow fairway and around the very tall smokestack of a ruined
plant that looks like it might collapse on you at any minute.
I have also been in the Little Wicomico River, through Smith Point, but that was
on a catamaran and as I recall at that time there were some depths that might
have been problematic for a boat with a deeper draft.
