Camp Cooking from Scratch
Almost everything tastes better when it’s cooked on a wood fire

Yellow Buoys Signal Better Bay Forecasts Ahead
New system to provide real-time picture of wind, waves and water-level elevations
Our trawler Bright Pleiades is trundling up the Bay off Smith Island. We’re ticking off the green and red buoys that define the main shipping channel when we spot a buoy of a different color. Banana-yellow, it’s embossed with four mysterious letters: CBOS. Continue reading...
Way Downstream
Another loss in the Bay: underwater grasses down 25 percent from 05 … Averages are deceiving: South River grassesfail while Susquehanna Flats grasses thrive … With a lot of help from its friends, Potomac River loses 103 tons of trash cleaner … and last but not least, this week’s Creature Feature: If we catch all the sharks in the ocean, we’ll have plenty of cownose rays but fewer scallops, oysters, clams and crabs.
