Indispensible

Not to be trite, but this book is an absolute must for anyone who seriously cruises Chesapeake Bay including its approaches. Superb detail and illustrations compliment a clear, carefully worded text. I have and use two other cruising guides for additional information but always start and end with this book.
The very best guide for the gunkholer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have two copies of the 2001 edition: one aboard my sailboat in Annapolis and the second in my office. Most of my use of the book has been in the middle Chesapeake. In crawling up and down the Magothy, Severn, South, West, Rhode, Chester, Wye, and Tred Avon Rivers this book has provided helpful insight into what I would find. This book and the Maptech chart book are all you need to find your way to and through the backwaters of the Chesapeake.
Excellent book

If you cruise the Chesapeake, you must have this book. I have read non better.
very comprehensive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a very comprehensive and informative book for anyone interested in finding those hidden away spots in the coves. the author has obviously been in every nook and cranny and has done a fine job of accomplishing what he has set out to do in authoring this book. The maps contained within should be used as a general reference only, as they do not provide the detail needed to navigate adequately. This is not a pictoral book and, as a result, has very few pictures.
The "Bible" of cruising the Chesapeake
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
We have used it for 5 years and finally have visited each of the 5-star rated anchorages. They were all worth the trip.We could not have entered many of the best without the specific "local knowlege" this book provides, and have amazed friends when we entered a tricky entrance, making all the right turns as though it was our home port.It's more comprehensive than any other guide and has no advertising. Get the other guides if you're primarily looking for restaurant reviews and the like, since he only mentions a few of the most outstanding "finds", but if you're looking for pristine anchorages, or where the closest fuel, food, hurricane hole or pumpout is, this is the book for you.
