Description
This tenth and final edition of Passages South offers expert guidance for navigating the Caribbean and Bahamas. For over twenty years, Bruce Van Sant has surveyed nearly 200 anchorages between Florida and South America, logging over 80,000 sea miles in the process.
Van Sant's extensive experience has led to the development of a systematic approach to finding shorter and easier routes through the chain of islands. He has refined detailed navigation plans for every leg, exploiting natural cooling effects on wind and sea to make safe progress even against normally challenging trade winds and seas.
This illustrated manual provides instruction for specific passages and harbors down islands, as well as a cruising guide for the Greater Antilles islands of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. With its proven methods, Passages South has sailed with tens of thousands of boats on countless passages between the Americas - and it can now be your trusted companion too.
