If you can find one

A very good and inexpensive waterway guide, is Skipper Bobs. Not sure it is still in print, and may be hard to find. I have done the east coast twice using it. Tons of anchorages listed, along with marinas, and places to avoid. Highly recommend this book.

If you have a iPhone or iPad .... iNavx - raster charts for the entire coasts of the US.

$50.00


You can also download the NOAA charts and use 'their' reader.

When you hit NJ, stop in the Absecon Inlet. You can anchor near USCG station and in Brigantine Cove. Touch base if you plan on doing that and I'll bring you some provisions (beer) and if you need to get to stores, we'll get you there.

These are pdf files but if you can get to a computer.... http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/nsd/coastpilot_w.php?book=3

When you clear the C and D canal message me and head for Havre de Grace or Perryville. Can get you a dry bed and hot shower and laundry. There is a grocery store on the water front in HdeG.

Re: If you can find one

I second the motion on the Skipper Bob's. We've used it extensively. We've seen it for sale in several marinas or you could try skipperbob.net

Enjoy,
