The following LORAN and GPS coordinates include the Maryland and Virginia coast, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel vicinity, and the Chesapeake Bay.

Waypoint coordinates are listed using a format of degrees-minutes and decimal minutes (DD MM.MMM). For example 37 30.222 would read 37 degrees, 30.222 minutes. The map datum is WGS84.

DISCLAIMER:

All waypoints should be verified using the latest navigational charts.

Always verify the format and datum of coordinates before using them for navigational purposes.

NEVER rely on electronic position devices as a sole means of navigation.

38 06.186 075 57.887 This spot is on the channel south of buoy 12 near Wenona
38 04 469 075 58.030 This is on the west side of the channel between buoy 10 and buoy 12. It is in about 47 feet of water.
38 03.124 075 56.826 Loon Hill
38 03.247 076 03.402 This spot is around the red buoy #2 west of kedges Strait and Southeast of Holland Island Light. It has been good for jigging for Rock the past 2-3 years.  it is in about 12-15 feet of water
