The largest estuary in North America, the Chesapeake is a haven for watermen who harvest the Bay during all four seasons. Home of a colorful workboat tradition, the Bay's 4000 miles of shoreline, small bays, winding creeks and provide countless safe and secluded anchorages. The Chesapeake has its own lore; you may see Blue Heron wading patiently for supper on the banks, Ospreys guarding their summer young in nests on channel markers, and on rare occasions, even a Bald Eagle.
