Best guide to chesapeake

[donphall]

Will be sailing the Chesapeake this summer. Can you recommend the best Guides?
Then we will be doing Maine for two weeks but I think I have a great guide for Maine (A C G to the Maine coast).

Remember that you have a very shallow draft and can explore areas that the guide will consider inaccessible to sailboats. Even the "Gunkholers Guide" doesn't talk about areas under 4 feet or so. The island pictured below is one of those places.

Also, there is some information on my blog, below.

Is the Shellenberger and update of the old Blanchard book?

Chesapeake Bay Magazine's Guide to the Chesapeake Bay.

I would agree with this choice. It covers shore stuff and a lot of other things that round out a summer trip. The Bay in the summer requires a lot of alternatives as the wind in the summer can be non cooperative. You need a lot of options and there are many.
