Excellent guide to offshore cruising.
Excellent for provoking thoughts and suggesting solutions for offshore cruising. The best guide I've found this activity. Very complete. Wish it was a bit more current, but in most areas the ideas presented are still very applicable and solid.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
