Cruising to Maine by Cheryl Duval
March 29, 2025 at 1:30:00 PM
It’s never too early to plan a coastal cruise to Maine, especially if you rarely venture north of the Chesapeake Bay and need time to get ready. Are you interested in learning how to prepare for cruising beyond local waters, including spare parts, tools, and safety equipment that might be needed? Have you ever wondered whether Maine lobster pots really outnumber Chesapeake crab pots, or if Maine fog is denser than pea soup? Join us for a candid presentation by Captain Cheryl Duvall as she shares highlights and a few lowlights from her 101-day cruise from Annapolis to Maine and back. In 2023, she and her husband journeyed 1,820 nautical miles, through Long island Sound, the Cape Cod Canal, and across “Down East” Maine before returning home. Her image-rich slide deck features 42 destinations along their route, and she even shares recommendations for anchoring, mooring, and docking. From dodging ferries near the Statue of Liberty to redefining “lobsters rolls”, her sea tales are sure to inspire your future maritime adventures.
