I strongly agree with Rosalie's recommendation of Shellenberger's book. I refer to it as the bible of Chesapeake cruising. I do carry a medium-old version of the Chesapeake Bay Magazine guide as well, but would definitely go with Shellenberger if I had to choose. The only advantage of the CBM guide is a greater number of chartlets. Shellenberger has more information and is a better (in my experience) navigation guide. There are quite good chart books from both MapTech (no surprise) and a local firm called ADC. Anchoring is easy and widely available throughout the Bay and its tributaries. As long as you don't anchor in the midst of an established mooring field (and there aren't that many) no one will give you any grief. In City of Annapolis waters you are supposed to let the Annapolis Harbormaster know if you will be anchored for more than a few days (three I think). There is no charge; they just want contact information in case they need to reach you for some reason. Contact the Harbormaster on channel 17. sail fast, dave S/V Auspicious _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
