Drawing on his extensive experience as a field guide and education director for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the author describes the Bay's intricate waterways in all seasons and traces the basics of geology, ecology, and human history as they relate to the Bay. The first section of the book reviews water safety, boat selection, seamanship, natural history, gear, and maps. The second section, provides information on a wide range of waterways that can serve as prototypes for each of the varied ecological niches that ring the Bay. Access points, a short historical overview, physical descriptions of each watercourse and its banks, remarks on the flora and fauna to be found there in one season or another are presented in a stimulating and inspiring narrative.
