A cruising guide that covers the entire area of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, some 700 islands, spread over 700 miles of ocean, circled with 900 square miles of coral reefs, which is one of the most popular cruising grounds in the world.
This highly regarded cruising guide has been on the market for eight years. Breaking new ground in its layout, content, and graphics at the outset, it set a new standard in cruising guides, and became a market leader in its first year. It has continued to hold this position. The fifth edition, following the earlier editions, continues to set new standards. The guide covers the entire area of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, some 700 islands, spread over 700 miles of ocean, circled with 900 square miles of coral reefs, which is one of the most popular cruising grounds in the world. It is the most comprehensive single reference to the area on the market, with well-presented sections covering geography, climate, weather, cruise planning, navigation, seamanship and preparation, as well as history, wildlife, fishing, diving, and ABC references covering everything from entry requirements, currency, business hours, holidays, health and medical facilities, holidays, to search and rescue services. These sections in the guide are not matched by any other reference.
In detail, the guide focuses on each area in turn, starting with a vital planning guide of routes, headings, distances, gives an overall view of the area, spotlights the star attraction, and covers each destination. It then turns to navigation and pilotage with full waypoint lists. Charts are shown covering the general area, and each destination. The charts in the guide are British Admiralty charts, known for their quality and clarity, as well as the lesser known Wavey Line charts, produced by cartographers, who also work for the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, which cover the fine detail of close approaches. These charts are licensed only to this guide.
