Cruising the Chesapeake Bay, A Gunkholer's Guide. By William H. Shellenberger. "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. Accurate and up-to-date navigational information in this thoroughly revised guide pilots the reader into the Chesapeake's numerous creeks and coves--gunkholes--and into practically every other point of interest on the bay. Acclaimed as the ultimate guide to uncrowded anchorages, Cruising the Chesapeake is the reference of choice among sailors and powerboaters seeking to avoid the beaten path. This new Third Edition has been expanded to include coverage of the Atlantic coasts of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, including Delaware Bay. Plus, readers get a cruise planner for short or long itineraries, an expansive catalog of GPS coordinates, and major updates to all piloting and shoreside facilities.
