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!

This book was a great resource for going to the Chesapeake. We had a start location in mind but made the rest up as we went. Six different paddles in four locations.
Made for a wonderful week. We had never been here and it laid out where to start and even some good restaurant options as well. We were camping so a little more of that information may have been helpful, but that is not what the title was about so no complaints here. An absolute must have if you plan a kayaking trip to anywhere on the
Chesapeake bay!

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.
