Tide Table

The Bay, once a week.

Tide Table is the heart of Chesapeake Bay Chronicles: a short weekly letter for people who live here, visit often, or grew up here and miss it.

What's inside

  • Around the Bay

    Stories worth your time

    The best regional reporting of the week, with credit and a link to whoever ran it first.

  • One essay

    Something original

    A short piece about a place, a season or a person on the water.

  • Field notes

    What the season's doing

    A nudge from the Field Guide when it matters: a new season opening, a big tide coming.

What you won't get

  • Clickbait subject lines.
  • Your address sold or shared. It's used for Tide Table and nothing else.
  • Ads dressed up as stories. If a sponsor ever appears, it says “Sponsored by” in plain words.
