Oystering Under Sail -- photo 8

Back at the dock, the oyster buyer's truck was waiting. The oysters were shoveled into a bushel measure and counted into the truck. We didn't reach the boat's limit of 125 bushels that day; I think we got 107. What do you expect from green crew? Wade collected for the oysters and paid his crew. The boat gets a share and then crew and captain share alike.

Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide cover Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide 4th Edition

My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas, it concentrates on anchorages—the kind of places I prefer to spend my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay—a smorgasbord of small creeks and coves.
