Hi John, Henry and I frequently sail the Chester River, particularly the lower end, since we keep our boat on a creek just off Grays Inn Creek near the mouth of the Chester. We winter her at Chestertown Marina.
There's a lovely place to anchor - Shippen Cove - on Grays Inn Creek, which flows into the Chester behind Eastern Neck. This would be a little out of your way, but worth it. Another good place to anchor is the Corsica River, which is up the Chester a bit, but not terribly far from where it meets the bay. Comegy's Bight (in the Chester River) is also reputed to be a nice place to anchor. It's up the river a bit. If you go as far as Chestertown, there's a decent restaurant right on the waterfront beside the marina, called "Fish Whistle". You shouldn't have any problem getting a slip at Chestertown marina, but I'd call ahead to reserve a space just to be safe. Of course, there are many neat shops and restaurants within walking distance of the marina. Fair winds!
