When I owned WILD ELF (# 297), I mounted a permanent Garmin 128 GPS unit in 
the well.  It fit there perfectly, and was a perfect location for reading it 
while under way.

         Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide

  My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas,
  it concentrates on anchorages--the kind of places I prefer to spend
  my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each
  location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you
  need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay--a smorgasbord of small
  creeks and coves.
