I can understand the time crunch.  But looking at your itinerary:
	Reedville
	Crisfield / Tangier Island
	Solomans Island
	Annapolis
	Sassafras River
	Chesapeake City
It seems you're mostly hitting places you could get to by car.  In my 
mind, the bulk of cruising the Chesapeake is the gunkholing, not the 
towns.  I would rather anchor up the Rhode River than hire a mooring in 
Annapolis, for example.  I think your definition of "a taste of the 
whole bay" is mostly one flavor.
