Great book, needs an update...

This is a well-written, well-organized book which is a wealth of information about paddling on Maryland's Chesapeake. I particularly appreciated the maps and illustrations in the book; they made sure that my recent vacation was action packed and that I didn't overlook a thing! While all the information in the book that I used was correct, it was somewhat dated; things have changed a lot-for the better- in the local paddling scene, and the authors should consider a new edition.

Two great kayaking books for MD and VA .

Sea Kayaking Maryland's Chesapeake Bay: Day Trips on the Tidal Tributaries and Coastlines of the Western and Eastern Shore by Michael Savario and Andrea Nolan and Sea Kayaking Virginia: A Paddler's Guide to Day Trips from Georgetown to Chincoteague by Andrea Nolan Savario and Nolan are professional guides who have written two delightful guidebooks for kayak day trips in the area of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The books document trips the authors have made a regular part of their itinerary and are written in a narrative style that is not only informative but makes for a great armchair tour for those nasty winter days as well. I found both these books at my local library and liked them so well they had to become part of my personal library. Enjoy!
