Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholers Guide, 4th Edition

By William H. Shellenberger. This book is a favorite with Chesapeake Bay cruising boaters.  Gunkholes are the creeks and coves located all over the Chesapeake Bay and it’s tributaries.  Getting up into these quieter fingers of the Bay are a big part of  what makes Chesapeake Bay cruising fun.

“Were it only a navigational aid, the book would be worth owning, but its introductory chapters and sidebars lift it into the realm of good travel writing as well.” – Mid-Atlantic Country.

A new edition of the Gunkholer’s Guide was released in 2012. The new edition includes updates to the text and descriptions of the cruising guides (the book includes cruise itineraries for 3, 9, and 16 day cruises in the southern, central, and northern portions of the Bay). GPS data has been added for all anchorages and harbors. Navigation hazards and safety information has been updated. And there’s a new listing of Chesapeake Bay marinas.
