  Well, it isn't all deeper.  Most of the Chesapeake is about 18 inches 
  deep.  Being an estuary about 200 miles long with several thousand miles 
  of coastline (if you add up the length of the banks of all the rivers 
  and large creeks) there is an awful lot of it where Albergs can't go.  
  That makes the perfect Chesapeake boat a flat bottomed shoal draft sloop 
  or yawl with a centerboard--like, strangely enough, a skipjack or one of 
  its bigger cousins.  I know where there are some recent tree falls that 
  are big enough to build a good sized boat.......thanks to Isabel.  But, 
  since I already have the Alberg,  I .........
