Steve, yes. I have a guy that lives on his boat that works at the marina right next to me where I keep my boat. He says the growth in the Chesapeake this year is above normal.
I would recommend arranging a short haul if you can. I have pictures of my boat (July) with the beginnings of a reef if you are interested in seeing them.
