Synopsis
The first and only comprehensive guide to sea kayaking the coast of Maine--one of the most spectacular paddling destinations. Sea kayaking is booming, and Maine, with more than 3,000 miles of rugged coastline, is the indisputable mecca of the sport in the eastern United States. Thousands of exceptionally beautiful islands, peninsulas, and bays offer paddling conditions ranging from very protected to extremely exposed. There are areas safe enough for beginners, and challenging enough for skilled paddlers. A complete guide to the coast from Kittery to Cobscook, Kayaking the Maine Coast is sure to become an indispensable resource to anyone who dips a paddle in Maine's coastal waters. Although it is specifically designed for day-trippers, experienced paddlers can also use this guide to put together multi-day expeditions. More then 50 sections of the Maine coast are described. Each chapter includes suggested trips, where to find launch access, how to read tides and currents, nautical chart and map references, safety considerations and danger zones, key points of interest, and information on bird and sea life. Miller also includes clear guidelines on "leave no trace" paddling--how to avoid disturbing nesting birds, endangered wildlife, and fragile shoreline vegetation--as well as where to go to find all this natural beauty.
* Suitable for experienced and novice paddlers alike
* 38 maps
* Features a special illustrated chapter on the natural history of the Maine coast
