New words, new stories, some of the most wholesome and interesting stories I have read about the Chesapeake. I've lived on the Bay a while but Larry keeps on educating and entertaining me by sharing his stories and experiences. I envy him.

My dad loved this as a gift. It came in pretty good condition. The flaws were limited to the paper cover, but the hardcover was intact. I Would purchase from seller again.

Great book brought back a lot of memories of my experiences of growing up on the Chesapeake Bay. Loved to hear the accents. Of the fishermen from the Eastern shore.

An excellent collection of memories on the Chesapeake Bay that has the reader yearning for days gone by. Real people involved in real accounts of life on and around the water. Even when times were tough for these watermen and their families, they always found a way to survive without complaining. A wonderful read that leaves one wanting more. Larry Chowning has written another masterpiece on Bay life.

Great read. You can almost imagine you're sitting on a boat with this guy listening to him tell his stories, you will almost feel like you know him after reading. I love the way this book reads.
