But the coast of Maine, with thousands of small islands separated by short crossings and spanning three distinct ecosystems, is an ideal place to gunkhole.

Camp cruising, also known as beach cruising or gunkhole cruising, is a form of cruising in which sailors sail from point to point in an open or semi-enclosed boat, generally remaining within sight of land.
