The East Coast of the US with
it's many bays, from Maine to Florida, is a rich cruising ground for both US and
foreign cruisers. We have chosen to provide information only about the
Chesapeake Bay and Annapolis since it has been more than 9 years since we have
cruised outside of this area.
Thousands cruise the US East Coast from Maine to Florida every
year. Many cruisers planning to winter in the Bahamas or
the Caribbean start their cruise by visiting
Annapolis, Maryland during October before heading South. This coincides with the Annapolis In the Water Boat
Show and allows them to equip their boat with the latest and greatest gadgets.  Foreign
cruisers usually sail the US east coast from Spring to Autumn, after crossing
the Atlantic and spending the Winter in the Bahamas or Caribbean. Many travel
up the Chesapeake Bay to the Potomac River and Washington, DC and then further
north up the Chesapeake to Annapolis and the Eastern shore anchorages of
Maryland. Others go beyond to Long Island Sound, Martha's Vineyard and Maine -
countless anchorages beckon the cruiser along this coast.

entry along the east coast.
