This comprehensive cruising guide for both sailors from the Islands and from the mainland or other distant ports includes detailed instructions for finding the anchorage or harbor and for anchoring or tying at a dock, including a chart for each destination. Each entry begins with a brief history of the place and a description of what is going on there today. In addition to the charts, hundreds of photographs illustrate the text. Introductory chapters cover such topics as history and culture, weather and currents, equipment, provisioning and channel crossing.
