It covers coastal waters from Cape May, New Jersey, up the Hudson River and northward to the Canadian border. Spiral-bound to lie flat in the cockpit or at the navigation station, the book is broken into geographical sections that include local knowledge about shoaling, aids to navigation, bridge schedules, anchorages and the like. Also included are “Goin’ Ashore” sidebars about restaurants, attractions and more.
