ROAD TRIPS: THE GREAT CHESAPEAKE BAY Best of the Bay by Sea After 25 years of cruising the Chesapeake, Rex Noel, editor for Waterway Guide , shares some amazing routes. He recommends exploring quaint small towns with a lot of history as well as anchorages that take you into larger cities, like Baltimore and Annapolis. As for the narrow tributaries, he says, “those are some of our favorite places.” Explore the Patuxent and Choptank, drop anchor at the heart of town in St. Michaels and in Haven Harbour in the watermen's town of Rock Hall, named “The Pearl of the Chesapeake,” or join in the mayhem at Pirate & Wenches Fantasy Weekend.
