Three timeless stories from the Chesapeake Region. The Sacred Places: For two decades, two friends have organized sea kayaking trips for devotees of Chesapeake Bay. Join these explorers as they pitch their tents on windswept beaches, explore the vibrant life of rare salt-marshes, devour fresh-caught rock fish grilled on campfire, seek inspiration in dazzling sunsets and sunrises, and especially, brainstorm with other compatriots in the fight to save and savor the Bay. Water's Colors: Marc Castelli's watercolors are beautiful studies in composition, geometry, light and dark, his works also evoke the gritty struggles, hardships and hopes of the men who still fish the Bay in this time-honored way. Beyond Blue: Scuttling along the salty shorelines of Maryland's Ocean Beaches and Coastal Bays are as many as thirty-five other kinds of crabs you won't find in a crabcake!
