Capt Michael Dodd

Captain Michael Dodd grew up in the northern suburbs of Baltimore. His father introduced him to boating at a young age, and over the years Michael took sailing lessons and owned several boats. He explored the vast Chesapeake Bay by sail and power and was inspired to write his first book, a cruising guide titled, "Chesapeake Bay Odyssey." In 2016 Michael obtained a USCG 50-ton commercial captain's license for inland waters. When not on the Bay, he maintained a busy ophthalmology practice in Annapolis and Southern Maryland. He retired from medicine in 2019 and now dedicates his time to writing.
